Exercise poses a major challenge to the various bioenergetic pathways in the working muscle 2.
What are the three sources of energy exercise.
The aerobic energy system is also known as the oxygen energy system and it uses both carbohydrates and fat in a slow energy burn.
The extent to which these substrates contribute energy for exercise depends on the intensity and duration of exercise the level of exercise training the initial muscle.
The body uses 3 different systems to supply cells with the necessary atp to fuel energy needs.
Although muscles and engines work in different ways they both convert chemical energy into energy of motion.
Muscles use the stored chemical energy of food we eat and convert that to heat and energy of motion kinetic energy.
Atp pc anaerobic glycolysis and aerobic phosphorylation.
Within these cells and from these energy sources adenosine triphosphate atp is formed to provide fuel.
A motorbike engine uses the stored energy of petrol and converts it to heat and energy of motion kinetic energy.
Atp which stands for adenosine triphosphate is the sole source of energy for all human metabolism yet very little of this fuel is actually stored in the body.
Each system uses different starting fuels each provides atp at different.
During exercise there are four major endogenous sources of energy.
Instead the body has three different systems of atp production.
The aerobic energy system is the most complex of the three using oxygen to create something called glycolysis and ultimately produce that all important atp.
