To train the Phosphocreatine energy system effectively, would involve repeated bouts of exercise up to 10-15 seconds of maximum intensity, with roughly two minutes rest between repeated intervals that will allow the system to replenish. The formula for recovery periods is known as the ‘work to rest ratio’. The Phosphocreatine energy system recovery ratio is 1:10/12. As a result, this means that for every second of ‘work’ you need to allow 10 to 12 seconds for recovery. When designing a training program for the phosphocreatine system, there must be an adequate recovery period and have the session if the quality of the movements or their power decreases significantly.
For example, if you were a basketball player that was training to increase your explosive leaping ability by jumping as high as you could, you would begin to notice that after two to three leaps that the next leap may not produce the same height. As a result, you would then stop and rest as your …show more content…
After the phosphocreatine system, the anaerobic glycolysis system is the second-fastest way for the body to resynthesize ATP. During anaerobic glycolysis, carbohydrates – either as blood glucose or muscle glycogen – is broken down through chemicals reactions that form pyruvate. For each molecule of glucose that is broken down into pyruvate, two molecules of ATP are produced. This pathway produces very little energy, but you in turn get the energy quickly. When pyruvate is formed there are two end results that can happen, the first is a conversion to lactate or a conversion to acetyl coenzyme A. Glucose conversion to lactate occurs when the demand for oxygen is larger than the supply making it anaerobic glycolysis. Whereas glucose conversion to acetyl coenzyme A occurs when enough oxygen is available to meet the demand and thus making this conversion aerobic
