Saiful Islam Assignment 3: Energy systemsDifferent energy systems:
Anaerobic A-Lactic (ATP-CP)
ATP is made up of adenosine and triphosphate and is known as the energy transfer in
the body. Energy is given by the breakdown of ATP by the high energy phosphates
being broken down. Our body requires energy for many things including: sleeping,
eating, walking and many more. The ATP system is the body's main priority energy
structure to react to loss of ATP stores. ATP is also known for tense actions during a
short period of time and high intensity e.g. last minute run. When athletes are doing a
100m race they run as quickly as they can, as the ATP is taking place this is when they
give the high extra boost.
The ATP is known to be quite quick in our system due to having maximum energy via
extremely high power exercises and other actions although it only lasts for a short period
of time meaning that high intensity will be gone within seconds.
Sports like E.g. Tennis, cricket, football and many more need ATP. These sports all have
something in common which is at one point high intensity is needed. In tennis when
serving power is needed, in cricket power is required to get the throw the ball quickly,
and football when kicking the ball with power. These are examples of ATP lasting a few
seconds when needed. ATP is used for instant power but also recovery time is also key.
It takes minimum 3 minutes of relaxation for muscles to regain atp again. This happens
when the present atp in the muscle is used up by creatine phosphate being used up.
After this process our body will have that short burst to repeat a tense action again e.g.
last set of weightlifting.

Anaerobic Lactic (Glycolytic):
Anaerobic glycolysis begins after the atp-pc begins to go away. This is when glycogen is
broken down from the liver and muscles that contain active oxygen and turned into
glucose. After this lactate is produced to deduct the rise of acid in the cells although it
restricts energy production. The build of lactate also has key factors that can be useful
and a problem. E.g. it collects and spreads into the tissue liquids and also blood.
However if it is not taken out by the circulatory system it holds back muscle movement
and also causes tiredness. Anaerobic lactic is for the use of energy of higher intensity
activity over this time a long amount of time. This type of energy work by carbohydrate
as a fuel provider and can exchange atp as soon as possible during high intensity
activities but then reaches its limit after a few seconds. Energy can be provided by the
lactate for around 1–2 minutes of exceptional action. Sports like hurdles jumps require
anaerobic lactic due to short in time, requires fast twitch muscle fibres and lastly
depends on speed and strength. This system can be utilized at most for 1–2 minutes
later requiring recovery. A recovery time is roughly 8 minutes which will help the removal
of lactate from the muscles and also give support to supply the glycogen stores in the
muscles.
