Energy Concecpt Presentation

The document discusses three energy systems - ATP-PC, lactic acid, and aerobic. The ATP-PC system uses phosphocreatine to provide energy for 2-10 seconds of intense exercise like sprinting. The lactic acid system produces energy without oxygen for 10 seconds to 3 minutes through anaerobic glycolysis, but builds up lactic acid. The aerobic system uses oxygen to break down glucose and produce much more ATP over longer periods for activities like long distance running.

Energy concept.

ATP splitting
2 seconds you are working aerobic then after 2 seconds you are then working anerobic. 85g Energy (Exothermic) Adenosine P P Adenosine P P

The energy is stored between the last two phosphate groups. ATP > ADP + P + Energy (Exothermic)

ADP + P + Energy > ATP (Endothermic) ATP can only provide us with about 2 seconds of exercise time, so for so for sports people to work longer and harder the ATP system needs to be re-synthesised. There are 3 ways that the energy system can be re-synthesised: The Phosphocreatine System. The Lactic acid system. The aerobic System. The sport this would be suitable for: shot-put. Weight lifting.

ATP-PC System

ATP-Fuel PC P/C = P+C+ Energy (Exothermic) ADP + P = ATP This system uses phosphocreatine to provide the energy to combine ADP and P The system is anaerobic as oxygen is not present. This lasts between 2 10 seconds, an example for this would be 100m. For everyone 1 pc we split we can resynthesize 1 ATP

Lactic acid
The lactic can be re-synthesised enough times for a high intensity event which lasts between 10secs to 180secs, for example, 100m, 200m, 400 and possibly 800m. Because oxygen is not required the energy can be produced straight away without waiting for oxygen to be taken in from the lungs. This system takes longer to take place because more reaction need to take place. Carbohydrate Glycogen - Glycogen broken down to glucose by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. This is the process of anaerobic glycolysis. Glucose - Glucose broken down into pyruvic acid by the enzyme phosphofructokinase. This reaction causes 2 moles of ATP to be resynthesised. Pyruvic acid - Due to the lack of oxygen pyruvic acid is broken down to lactic acid by the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase. Lactic acid 1 glucose can resynthesize 2 ATPs.

Aerobic system

Aerobic system would benefit marathon runners as marathon runners work below the anaerobic threshold of 4 mmols of lactic acid in their blood. This would be good for football, rugby, basketball. In total 38 moles of ATP can be re-synthesised from one mole of glucose and oxygen This system cannot provide ATP whilst working at higher intensities, the body will naturally switch back to the lactic acid system.
