What are the different types of energy systems?

ATP-PC, Lactic Acid, Aerobic.

1 of 9

What system would a 100m race use?

ATP-PC system.

2 of 9

What system would an 800m race use?

Lactic acid system moving into the aerobic system.

3 of 9

List three ways to repay the debt that has built up?

Individual stops exercising. Intensity level reduces where there is spare capacity in the aerobic system. The activity has bouts of high intensity then low intensity or no activity.

4 of 9

What does EPOC stand for? When does it occur?

Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This happens when the body has borrowed energy as it could not get enough from the aerobic system. The debt is repaid through this process, often only fully repaid at the end of activity.

5 of 9

EPOC is broken down into slow and fast component. What does the fast component do?

Fast component- resynthesises PC using energy from the aerobic system to reverse the exothermic reaction.

6 of 9

What does the slow component in EPOC do?

Slow component- removes lactic acid by either converting it to pyruvic acid then to glucose and glycogen or through the cori cycle where its converted back into glycogen.

7 of 9

How can we reduce the amount of time taken to remove lactic acid? What does the amount of time depend on?

Through cool downs. Amount of time to recover depends of intensity of exercise and type of cool down completed

8 of 9

List the order of use for the energy systems.

ATP-PC, lactic acid, Aerobic system.
