ACTIVITY 1
During dance classes and performances, both the aerobic and anaerobic systems will be working, but not
necessarily at the same rate, ‘at any one time all energy systems are in use but the percentage use of each
energy system is determined by the rate of demand for ATP by the muscle cell’ (Wyon, 2005 Vol 7/No.
1). Strong, sharp, quick and controlled movements, using mainly localized muscle groups, rely heavily on
the anaerobic system and usually last for only a few seconds. Sequences that involve travelling and
continual movement over a longer, sustained period of time depend on the aerobic system. As mentioned
previously, dance is intermittent and will demand, depending on the choreography, an ever changing

1. During this pandemic, how will you apply these energy systems with your day to day activities?
Even in pandemic, I will do my best not to have a sedentary lifestyle but to make sure that my
energy systems are working together to ensure a constant supply of energy. For my ATP-CP system, I
already use it in my daily life because walking, thinking or even texting requires it. It fuels metabolism
and other biochemical reactions that support and maintain life. My aerobic system also helps in building
and repairing body tissues, digesting food, controlling body temperature and growing hair. I improve it by
aerobic dancing during weekends or twice a week if I have the time. For my anaerobic system, I
consistently exercise every other day with a HIIT workout I follow on Youtube. Because of all of these, I
2. How does one’s fitness play a significant role in the challenges of daily living?
According to 5 ways exercise improves your quality of life - Harvard Health (2015, September 30):
Exercise not only helps you live longer — it helps you live better. In addition to making your heart and
muscles stronger and fending off a host of diseases, it can also improve your mental and emotional
(1) Aerobic exercise releases mood-lifting hormones, which relieve stress and promote a sense of well-
being. (2) Physical activity boosts blood flow to the brain, which help maintain brain function. It also
promotes good lung function, a characteristic of people whose memories and mental acuity remain strong
as they age. (3) Regular exercise slows the natural decline in physical performance as you age. By staying
active, older adults can actually keep their cardiovascular fitness, metabolism, and muscle function in line
with those of much younger people. And many studies have shown that people who were more active at
midlife were able to preserve their mobility — and therefore, their independence — as they aged. (4)
Regular aerobic exercise provides three important sleep benefits: it helps you fall asleep faster, spend
more time in deep sleep, and awaken less during the night.
