  • lactic acid system
    • where?
      • sarcoplasm
    • energy yield?
      • 1:2
    • how long?
      • 10-120 seconds
    • example
      • 300m/400m sprint
    • active enzymes
      • 1st reaction = glucogen phosphorylas-e (GPP)
      • 2nd reaction = phosphofructo-kinase (PFK)
      • 3rd reaction = lactate dehydrogenas-e (LDH)
    • effect of lactic acid
      • reduces PH
      • increases acidity
      • inhibits enzymes
      • causes fatigue
      • stimulates pain receptors
      • recovery of 1-4 hours
    • advantages
      • quick O2 not required
      • energy for 2-3 mins
      • higher yield ration than PC
      • lactic acid can be used as a fuel
    • disadvantages
      • build up of lactic acid
      • low energy yield compacred to aerobic energy system
      • up to an hour recovery
