    Energy Systems Our body needs a supply of energy to complete day to day tasks and to simply be able to move. We have more than one energy system‚ we have 3 in total and these are * ATP (anaerobic) * Lactic acid (anaerobic) * Aerobic (aerobic) All three off these energy systems are fuelled by the same chemical called ADP-PC. These systems produce this chemical at different speeds‚ for example the ATP system produces the chemical very fast as for the aerobic energy system produces it

    Energy systems Creatine Phosphate system The creatine phosphate system is an immediate energy system. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is created without the presence of oxygen for short‚ fast bursts of power and energy. This is the first system used when performing any sporting activity. However this short burst of energy only lasts for a short moment in time for round about 10 seconds. Running events like the 100 meters sprint would be an example of using the creatine phosphate system. During the

    Energy Systems Assignment By Thysje Fartlek Training Before we started the fartlek training‚ our bodies were using the aerobic system and bi-products of this system are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Our heart rate (HR) was low‚ 60-70 beats a minute‚ and our breathing rate (BR) was slow and deep‚ 1 breathe about every 6 seconds. The demand for fuel was low because we didn’t need to supply the muscles in our body quickly. Once we started walking‚ the demand for fuel increased but only
