HPE102A – Energy Systems
The Sport I will be doing this assignment on is Basketball. The two drills activities I will explain are dribbling, and defending. The Lactic Acid System is the energy system being developed in drill 1. The energy system being used in drill 2 is the Aerobic System.
Section 1
There are three energy systems used when playing sport; ATP-CP, Lactic Acid and Aerobic. The ATP-CP System lasts 15 – 30 secs and it doesn’t require oxygen. The Lactic Acid System lasts for 30 sec – 2 mins and has a limited supply. The Aerobic System is our main source of ATP, it lasts 3 – 5 mins and this energy system relies on oxygen to create ATP. My sport, Basketball, uses the Lactic Acid system and the Aerobic system as the two most dominant systems. In basketball, the ATP-CP System is used for jump-shots, the Lactic Acid system is used for dribbling the ball and the Aerobic system is used for defending and running up and down the court. To develop the Lactic Acid Energy System, the drill will be dribbling and weaving. To develop the Aerobic Energy System, the drill will be defending, dribbling and shooting (No jump shots).
Section 2
The skill of Dribbling is developing in this drill. It uses the Lactic Acid Energy System. The intensity of the drill is medium-high, this matches the Lactic Acid energy system. When the player needs to dribble the ball from one side of the court to the other, this uses the Lactic Acid system because it is a medium-high intensity drill. It will take 2 minutes to finish the drill. It should take roughly 30 seconds to 2 minutes for the “athlete” to dribble the ball up the court. The glycogen in the “athlete’s” body is broken down to ATP and Pyruvic acid; the Pyruvic acid will build up and will turn into Lactic acid. The drill will have already used up the ATP-CP stored in muscles and it will have to resort to Lactic Acid will the Aerobic System stores up the necessary ATP to continue exercising. The body uses all the energy systems
