  • Energy for exercise
    • ATP-PC system
      • Advantages
        • Requires no oxygen
        • PC stored in muscles so readily available
        • Reaction is very quick
        • Provides explosive energy
        • No fatiguing by products
        • PC can be restored very quickly
      • Disadvantage
        • Muscles only store poor amounts of PC and ATP
        • 1 PC creates 1 ATP
        • Only restores ATP for up to 10 seconds
      • Adaptations
        • Anaerobic training
          • Increases ATP and PC stores
          • Delays time until threshold is reached
    • Glycolytic system
      • Advantages
        • Large glycogen stores
        • Creates 2 ATP
        • Fewer reactions than aerobic
        • 10 to 180 seconds of energy
      • Disadvantage
        • Slower production
        • Produces lactic acid
        • Stimulates pain receptors
      • Adaptations
        • Increase body tolerance abasing lactic acid
        • Increase resting stores of of glycogen
    • Aerobic  system
      • Advantages
        • Large potential stores of glycogen
        • Efficient  restoration of ATP
        • Provides energy for long periods
        • No fatiguing by products
      • Disadvantage
        • More complex reactions
        • Production is slower
        • Reactions takes a while to start
      • Adaptations
        • Increased glycogen storage
        • Increased mobilisation of aerobic enzymes
        • Earlier use of FFA's as energy sources
  • Disadvantage
    • More complex reactions
    • Production is slower
    • Reactions takes a while to start
