 ENERGY PATHWAYS

PHOSPHAGEN SYSTEM
CP as fuel source = very rapid source of ENERGY
When people work at extreme intensities for just seconds,
they use up the small amount of creatine phosphate they have in the body
to produce ATP.
GLYCOLYTIC ANAEROBIC SYSTEM
Glucose as fuel Source = rapid source of ENERGY
When people work at hard intensities for few minutes, they use up
carbohydrate stores to produce ATP without Oxygen.

AEROBIC SYSTEM
Use of Carbohydrates, Fats + Proteins = Unlimited capacity of ATP
When people work at moderate and low intensities for longer
LESS
than a few

QUICK ENDLESS STORAGE
minutes, they use a combination of carbohydrate and fats to produce ATP.
 MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS

ISOTONIC CONTRACTIONS ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS

(CONCENTRIC + ECCENTRIC)
• SAME MUSCLE TONE • SAME MUSCLE LENGTH
• MUSCLE SHORTENS • MUSCLE DO NOT SHORTENS
• BENDING KNEES, • PLANK
LIFTING WEIGHTS,
SMILING, ETC.
