Energy System

Anaerobic energy

immediate

Explosive energy

supplies energy for no more than 6-8 seconds

chemical reaction between adenosine troposphere (ATP) and creatine phosphate (CP)

short term

provide energy for up to 90 seconds

High-intensity

Aerobic energy

use air (oxygen)

Low intensity < 3minit

Oxidative phosphorylation

Slow twitch muscle fibre

incomplete breakdown of carbo

Fast twitch muscle fibre

Dosent involve oxygen

slower muscle contraction
