  1. Energy Systems Aerobic System

  2. Two Energy Systems • Aerobic • An energy system which is used in prolonged continuous activity in the presence of oxygen and does not produce lactic acid. • Anaerobic • Energy systems that do not rely on the immediate use of oxygen. There are two types of anaerobic energy systems.

  3. 3 Metabolic Pathways Anaerobic Alactic (ATP-CP) or (ATP-PC) Anaerobic Lactic (glycolysis) Aerobic(cellular respiration) • A slow twitch muscle energy system which is used in prolonged continuous activity in the presence of oxygen and does not produce lactic acid.

  4. The Aerobic System: Long-Term Energy • Exercise performed at a ______________level relies almost exclusively on the aerobic system for energy production and requires the athlete to use ____________ as its source of energy. • Most daily activities use energy provided by the aerobic energy system • The _________________________is the most important energy system in the body. • While this pathway cannot generate the speed of the anaerobic, it does provide a great deal more _____________________________________. • Formula:

  5. Key Nutrients • Remember your Fats, Proteins and Carbs because they are crucial for the fuel for the aerobic system

  6. The Aerobic System (Cellular Respiration) • The aerobic system energy requires the metabolism of Proteins Glucose (Glycogen) Fats Oxygen Combine to produce ADP + P ATP ENERGY CO2 Water Using energy produces

  7. Cellular Respiration • Involves 3 separate pathways • Glycolysis • Kreb’s Cycle • Electron Transport Chain

  8. Sub-Pathways – Cellular Respiration Glycolysis – • first stage • Same as anaerobic lactic system (see previous lesson) Where Glycolysis changes with the Aerobic Systems: • in the presence of oxygen, ________________is converted to ________________ (co-enzyme) • (rather than ___________________ • No lactic acid produced with aerobic at this time • acetyl CoA then enters a more complicated pathway known as the ____________________

  9. Kreb’s Cycle- • Central pathway for the metabolism of ____ and ____________ • series of __ reactions, __ ATP molecules are produced at this stage, along with new compounds • capable of storing ____________________ • high energy electrons are sent to a process within the _________________, known as, the ______________________________

  10. Electron Transport Chain- • During the final stage of aerobic respiration, ______________________are produced, • Electrons pass down the chain, highly reactive molecules (free radicals) are by-products • these molecules may be a contributor to long-term muscle fatigue

  11. ATP Produced

  12. Aerobic Power: VO2max Oxygen uptake • The power of the aerobic system is generally evaluated by measuring the maximum volume of oxygen that can be consumed in a given amount of time. • This can be measured by determining the amount of oxygen exhaled as compared to the amount inhaled. • As the intensity of work increases the capacity of aerobic system reaches a maximum. • You can only breath in and out so much • The greatest rate at which oxygen (volume) can be taken in and used during exercise is referred to ____________________________or (___________)

  13. Aerobic Power VO2Max Each person has his or her own maximal rate of oxygen consumption (VO2 max). • • A normal VO2 max for most high school athletes would fall somewhere between • The VO2 max values of trained athletes will reach The more active we are the higher the VO2 max will be in that range.

  14. The Effect of Training on the Aerobic System A person’s ability to perform an activity is limited by their maximal rate of oxygen consumption (VO2 Max). The most efficient method for improving the aerobic energy system is endurance training/exercise. Long, slow distance training or exercise at the low end of your _________________tends to use slow twitch (ST) fibres. ST fibres are slower to fatigue and are well suited for endurance activities.

  15. The Effect of Training on the Aerobic System Endurance exercise consists of Generally, the higher the intensity, the greater the oxygen consumption. When exercising the target heart rate (THR) should be raised to 70% of max.

  16. Finding your Target Heart Rate

  17. The Effect of Training on the Aerobic System Con’t Examples include: running, swimming or biking for 40 minutes or more at a heart rate of 130-140 bpm Note: A highly trained or elite athlete should be able to sustain a heart rate of 85% of their VO2 max. This type of training does not raise your anaerobic threshold. Endurance training has four major effects on the aerobic system:

  18. Characteristics of the Aerobic System The oxygen system is highly efficient. When oxygen is used in muscle cells: • it prevents the build-up of _______________ • an individual can work out longer before _______________________________________ • it is able to remove lactic acid from muscles allowing the muscle to continue to contract allowing exercise to continue • it promotes _________________of ATP for energy when work output is low.

  19. Characteristics of the Aerobic System As the duration of activity increases, the contribution of the aerobic system to the total energy requirement increases. Due to this, there are two limitations to the aerobic system:

  20. Using The Systems Together While running at a comfortable pace you use both systems, but the anaerobic: aerobic ratio is low enough that the lactate generated is easily removed, and doesn't build up. As the pace is increased, eventually a point is reached where the production of lactate, by the anaerobic system, is greater than its removal (anaerobic threshold). Note: Depending upon the distance, and effort, the body can use different proportions of both of these systems. For example, the 800m race is too long to be a sprint, but too short to be a distance race. Therefore, it is run at the cross-over between the aerobic and anaerobic systems.

  21. Training The Systems Together The best method to train all of the systems together is __________________. Interval work consists of repeating a series of short, high intensity, runs alternating with rest (recovery) periods. Whichever method is used, the athlete must continually push themselves into a lactate burdened state which makes their body adapt. Regardless of the race distance you are training for, 5k or marathon, interval work will help you run faster.

  22. Summary - The Energy Systems • Energy for muscular activity depends on a supply of ATP that can be broken down into ADP and phosphate • All of the body’s biochemical processes and the three energy systems require ATP • Trained individuals are able to use ATP and remove lactic acid more efficiently than untrained individuals
