The human body has three energy systems within it which enable us to move for everyday use, as well as for any other type of movement we need to do. Depending on the type of movement the body does, one of the three energy systems is individually selected to best suite the movement for the particular situation. Different types of exercise training would of course require a a different type of energy system, dependent upon what type of exercising is occurring. Although, no matter what type of exercise or movement is occurring, it all relies on our cardiovascular system in the body. Exercise training, energy systems, and cardiovascular fitness all have a relationship with each other and rely on one another in order for our body to function properly.

The first system being ATP, which is an immediate source of energy which lasts only up to ten seconds, and is mainly used for explosiveness, such as a sprinter would use. Non-oxidative, also called glycolysis, is the second energy system that our body utilizes when called upon. This system is used in anything lasting from over ten seconds, all the way up to one minute, and produces a by product called lactic acid. Lactic acid is the feeling you get in your muscles like a “burning” sensation, and can lessen ones ability to exercise or do work with that muscle. Glycolysis is a system that would be used when running longer sprints such as the 400 meter, when the runner must pace themselves and be as efficient and quick as possible. Finally, the third system, which is also the most complicated of the three, is the oxidative energy system. Oxidative energy uses carbohydrates, fats and proteins as its source of energy and produces by products of CO2 and H2O, otherwise known as carbon dioxide and water. Slower reactions that occur, such as walking, jogging, and long distance sports are the primary users of this oxidative system, anything one minute and up as well. These three systems relate to exercise training because depending on what is being done while exercising, one of the three energy systems will be called upon and has to be
