oxygen ATP-PC Energy System Lactic Acid System ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) Universal carrier of the cell An energy-bearing molecule found in all living cells Energy currency of life Fuels that supplies the energy for muscles to work what the body uses to create energy PC Phospocreatine, a high energy compound found in muscle cells ATP synthesizes to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and resynthesizes to ATP with the help of PC molecules and the enzyme 10 seconds worth of PC quick, short burst of energy Examples: Jumping Throwing Lifting Sprinting - A quick jab in boxing - a short sprint in soccer or basketball system in which the high-energy compound ATP is manufactured from the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid in the muscle cells.
Lactic Acid - a fatiguing metabolite of the lactic
acid system resulting from the incomplete breakdown of glucose Used to replenish the Anaerobic system Low-moderate intensities Whole body movements Slow to make energy 1 minute Does not release any harmful products
