Aerobic Metabolism
|
fuels most of the energy needed for long duration activity. It uses oxygen to convert nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) to ATP. This system is a bit slower than the anaerobic systems because it relies on the circulatory system to transport oxygen to the working muscles before it creates ATP. it is used primarily during endurance exercise, which is generally less intense and can continue for long periods of time.

|
Anaerobic Metabolism - Glycolysis
|
creates ATP exclusively from carbohydrates, with lactic acid being a by-product.provides energy by the (partial) breakdown of glucose without the need for oxygen.produces energy for short, high-intensity bursts of activity lasting no more than several minutes before the lactic acid build-up reaches a threshold known as the lactate threshold and muscle pain, burning and fatigue make it difficult to maintain such intensity.
