    energy from glycolysis‚ still using some energy from ATP-PC. If given the appropriate amount of time to recover‚ the body would then begin to use ATP-PC for its energy. Adaptations that may occur in the glycolysis system would be the increase in glycogen phosphorylase‚ phosphofructokinase and lactate dehydrogenase. Increases in the level of enzymes can be the result of endurance training and weight training. These enzymes can have a positive impact on performance‚ but many factors and variables can

    Islets of Langerhans release glucagons when glucose levels are low. Glucagons promote the conversion of glycogen into glucose; the lack of glucose can then be compensated for by the new supply of glucose brought about from glucagons. The beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans release insulin when the levels of glucose in the blood is high. Insulin promotes the conversion of glucose into glycogen and this can be stored in the liver for later use. Fight or flight In emergencies adrenaline is released
