Energy Systems
Across
- 1. The main by-product of the seconnd energy system
- 4. The aerobic system provides energy for approx ____ to three hours before refuelling needs to occur
- 5. The point up to which athletes can tolerate and process lactic acid
- 8. The system that fuels most of the energy requirements needed for long duration activities such as marathons
- 9. The energy system that is used immediately for high intensity actions that are short in duration
- 12. The main by-products of the aerobic system are water and ________ ________
- 13. Fatigue, muscle pain and ________ are all symptoms of when the levels of lactic acid get too high in the body and it is unable to clear it out
- 15. This fuel is only used by the aerobic system in extreme cases of prolonged exercise, such as an ultra marathon
Down
- 2. The fuel that is used to produce more ATP in the most immediate energy system
- 3. The lactic acid system uses ________ to help remake more ATP, which can be found mostly in skeletal muscle
- 4. The lactic acid system will provide energy for approx two to ______ minutes of high intensity activity (75-95% max effort)
- 6. Intensity and ________ are the two main factors that determine which energy system dominates over the other two during sport and exercise
- 7. This is a reserve fuel for the aerobic energy system
- 10. The energy pathway that contains two systems and does NOT require oxygen to produce ATP
- 11. This is used by the aerobic system to convert glycogen into ATP
- 14. The ATP-CP system only provides energy for approx ____ to twelve seconds of high intensity activity
