Example Of The ATP-PC Energy System

Decent Essays
ATP-PC is the predominate system for 6 to 10 seconds with 95% intensity rate. ATP-PC relies on creatine phosphate to fuel the body; this is an anaerobic system which means that it doesn’t require oxygen to function. Examples of this energy system in sport are the 100M sprint or weight lifting. After the system is used up the body moves on to the anaerobic glycolysis (lactic acid) energy

    During strenuous exercise, such as lifting, muscles require glucose (and glycogen) as fuel faster than oxygen can be provided. Oxygen is important because it helps to do the lifting. Your muscles go into anaerobic cellular respiration because of low oxygen which causes lactate fermentation (lactide acid) to form. This is evident in the beginning of stage 2 because of the burning or aching sensation in the muscle fibres. During lactate fermentation in cells, the pyruvate which was produced during glycolysis is converted to lactide acid by oxidizing an electron…

    The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP which is used as energy for metabolic processes. The citric acid cycle is catabolic and anabolic. Fuel molecules are catabolised (broken down) to generate ATP.…

    For football, the requirement of this sport is not high than glycolysis and oxidative because of the movement. The movement that needed for this sport in ATP-PC energy is sprinting, jumping, kicking, dribbling, passing, catching (keeper) and heading. That the movement the needed for usage of ATP-PC. This energy system is use for high-intensity short bursts which mean it use in short period only and not for long period. For example, the players want to sprint to catch the ball.…

    Anaerobic power can be of two methods, the Creatine Phosphate system, "An anaerobic method of resynthesising ATP using creatine phosphate as fuel" (Amezdroz, 2010, p.207), and the Lactate system, which involves "resynthesising ATP using glucose as fuel" (Amezdroz, 2010, pg.209), also known as anaerobic glycolysis. This training program will effectively work to target these systems of the body in order to optimise touch performance. Within the game of touch, “short sprints of 5-10m are repeated up to 100 times per player during a game” (Dr…

    All energy systems are constantly working together, although there is always a bigger contribution from one energy system to another depending on the intensity and duration of the activity. During a soccer match the ATP-PC energy system is the dominant energy source for high intensity activities of up to 10 seconds. This is dominant when an outfield player is jumping for a header or a goalkeeper is diving to save the ball. The anaerobic glycolysis system is the highest contribution when working 30-60 seconds and near maximum effort. The soccer player would reach their lactate threshold and have blood lactate levels increase.…

    For the humans to stay alive and function properly, the body uses carbohydrates, fats and proteins to get energy from. There is one aerobic energy system and two anaerobic energy systems which almost all the activities within the body use to produce energy required. ATP This is known as adenosine triphosphate which is a simple energy system where energy is produced by breaking down ATP for muscle contraction.…

    Bianca Tapia April 14, 2016 Period 4 VO2 Max Lab Write-Up Introduction: VO2max or oxygen consumption, is defined to be the maximum oxygen consumption our body can handle during aerobic exercise. When we are exercising our body works harder than usual, which requires ATP with the aid of oxygen. The reason why our heart rate progressively gets faster is because our body is trying to provide more oxygen to generate enough ATP to keep us moving. VO2 is a measure of the volume of oxygen that our body uses to convert the energy from the food we eat into energy molecules, called ATP, that our body uses at the cellular level. A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercises showed that people who favored an alkaline-type diet showed…

    Using a specific example discuss a possible target for the development of anti-mycobacterial therapeutics ATP synthase is a main enzyme used to produce ATP in respiration of a cell. It makes use of a proton gradient in the mitochondrial cell membrane to generate ATP. By transporting protons back across the membrane, using ADP and a phosphate ion to create ATP. Normally most bacteria can gain enough ATP to grow optimally through substrate level phosphorylation, however it has been shown that M. tuberculosis, both the active and the latent version, do not produce enough ATP to grow sufficiently.…

    The aerobic energy system is very important to soccer players. Soccer requires short burst fueled by the nonoxidative energy system (lactic acid system) and the immediate energy system (alactacid system). The greater the players’ aerobic power the faster they can recover from the short burst. Recovering from burst sooner can help the player achieve repeated high intensity sprints.…

    This system will breakdown and resynthesize ADP into ATP at a faster rate to perform the Wingate in 15 seconds. The ATP-PCR system is very immediate and stores higher energy bonds than glycoysis. ATP-PCr is used for the beginning of the exercise for a high intensity activity. Being that this duration is 15 seconds, the body will need energy at a faster rate to produce ATP. Glycolysis will not be included in this particular test, due to rapid amount of energy is needed.…

    All three energy systems “make a contribution to exercise,” but the ATP-PCr system generates about fifty percent of the energy used in soccer. Together the glycolytic and oxidative systems are evenly responsible for the remaining sixty percent of energy used. In soccer, players alternate between sprinting and walking, so it is understandable that the ATP-PCr is responsible for such a vast amount of energy. The ATP-PCr system normally lasts for “3 to 15 s”, which would allow a player to “perform short bursts of intense running” (Kenney, W., Wilmore, J., Costil, D., 2015b, p.p. 58; Clark, 2016).…

    However, it is suggested that the player should develop a high aerobic system as it can help with processing lactic acid and increases the athletes’ ability to recover quicker when participating in high intensity sessions of sprinting in a game. It’s crucial to view and establish the energy systems that are required in a soccer game in order to train the athlete in the correct way. All three energy systems will most likely be used during a game of soccer by a defender. An example where this can be seen is if the player does a 50m sprint during a soccer match, they can use 50% of the ATP/PC system and 50% of the lactic acid which signifies that energy systems can be used together, it’s…

    Thus , the oxygen requirement to the respiratory muscles increases which results in decrease in use of oxygen by locomotor muscles. Resulting to this lack of oxygen, respiratoy muscles become fatigue. Morever, post exercise oxygen consumption and energy expenditure is more after high intensity exercise (Doucet, Imbeault, Alméras & Tremblay, 1999) The purpose of conducting a lab is to measure the metabolic and energy expenditure with cycle ergometry. For any activities taking longer time than few minutes, main source of energy is through aerobic metabolism, as we do not store more amount of o2 in body, we must deliver o2 to tissue when it is needed during prolonged exercise.…
