Question

Explain the three energy systems.

Then, give examples of three different a sports that may benefit from training in that energy system. When giving the examples be very clear as to what exactly the sport entails and why that energy system for each example. For example, if you just state "running," are you referring to long distance or short and how does that exemplify the energy system?

Answer 1

The three energy systems are

1)Anaerobic A-Lactic (ATP-CP) energy system

2)Anaerobic A-lactic (Glycolytic) energy system

3)Aerobic energy system

Anaerobic A-Lactic (ATP-CP):

This is the energy which needed by the Athletes who are going for short duration acceleration, Athletes are running for short distances they need energy to run. so "Anaerobic A-Lactic(ATP-CP) energy system" produce that energy which is not produced for long-time,it don't use oxygen and lactic acid to produce energy for the body and "Anaerobic A_Lactic(ATP-CP)" uses the small amount ATP and higher substances like Creatine Phosphate to complete cycle.An produce the energy to run or weight lift.This energy is mainly used by the football players gymnasts.This produces energy which for 10 seconds only. The ATP produced by this system is very low.

Anaerobic A-Lactic (Glycolytic) energy system:

This is also known as "Fast Glycolysis".This is the energy which is produced by using lactic acid and oxygen.The lactic acid is processed by the liver and turn into glucose which is used to produce the energy.This energy is used by the persons who are running or cycling very fast.When we are running (long distances) very fast our body change into anaerobic metabolism to get enough energy.This is not like "Anaerobic A-Lactic(ATP-CP) which can only produce energy for 10 seconds, this has a capacity of 2 minutes to produce energy.This type of energy is used by "Sprinters" which was produced by anaerobic metabolism.

Aerobic energy system:

This aerobic energy system which is most utilize by all three energy systems.This is the energy system which produce energy to do long activities,which last anywhere from 2 minutes to two hours.This energy system uses oxygen,and require long time to produce energy.This is energy is used for continuous activities like swimming and heavy weight lifting when we are running(very long distances) our body turns to "Aerobic energy system'' to provide long last energy to run that distance.

The Table representation of 3 energy systems:

Energy system	Rate of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate )	Capacity(ATP)	Used By
Anaerobic A-lactic (ATP-CP)	Very low	Very low	Creatine phosphate and ATP
Anaerobic A-lactic	High	Low	Blood & Glucose
Aerobic	Very high	High	Blood, Glucose & Inter muscular fat
