ENERGY SYSTEM
Lesson 1
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
• Explain how to optimize the energy systems for safe and
improved performance
• Explains the role of physical activity assessments in managing
one’s stress
• Sets FITT goals based on training principles to achieve and/or
maintain HRF
• Self-assess health-related fitness (HRF), status, barriers to
physical activity assessment participation
ENERGY
It is the ability or capacity to do
work and is measured in calories
or joules.
FOOD FUELS FOR ENERGY
1. Carbohydrates (CHO) – preferred source
of fuel during exercise (glycogen)
2. Fat – concentrated fuel used during rest and
prolonged sub0maximal exercise
3. Protein – used for growth and repair
(negligible use during exercise)
THERE ARE THREE ENERGY
SYSTEMS:
1. ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate – an organic
compound that provides energy to drive many processes
in living cells such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse
propagation.
THERE ARE THREE ENERGY
SYSTEMS:
2. Glycolytic System – the breakdown (lysis) of glucose
and consists of a series of chemical reactions that are
controlled by enzymes.
THERE ARE THREE ENERGY
SYSTEMS:
3. Oxidative System – also known as Krebs Cycle and
the citric acid cycle. In this system, carbohydrates and
fats are the primary energy sources converted into ATP
and this process takes place in the mitochondria of the
cell.

If we have enough oxygen present in the blood, then
pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, is shuttled to the
mitochondria and we enter the oxidative energy system.
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
Aerobic exercise is any type of cardiovascular
conditioning or “cardio”. During the cardiovascular
conditioning, your breathing and heart rate increase for a
sustained period of time. Oxygen is your main energy
source during aerobic workouts, therefore Oxidative
System energy is used.
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
Aerobic exercise is any type of cardiovascular
conditioning or “cardio”. During the cardiovascular
conditioning, your breathing and heart rate increase for a
sustained period of time. Oxygen is your main energy
source during aerobic workouts, therefore Oxidative
System energy is used.
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
Benefits of Aerobic Exercises:
Reduce risk of heart attack
Reduce risk of type 2 diabetes
Recue risk of stroke
Help lose weight and keep it off
Help lower and control blood pressure
Increase stamina and reduce fatigue during exercise
Activates immune systems, making you less likely to get colds or flu
Strengthens the heart
Boosts mood
Help you live longer than those who doesn’t exercise
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
Anaerobic exercises involve quick burst of
energy and are performed at maximum effort
for a short time. The energy system used are
the ATP and Glycolytic System.
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
Benefits of Anaerobic Exercises:
• Build muscles
• Lose weight
• Maintain muscle mass as you age
• Strengthens bones
• Burns fat
• Increase stamina for daily activities like hiking, dancing or
playing
THE ENERGY USED IN DANCING BY CHERRISH
PLUMMER
Production of Lactic Acid
• Lactic acid occurs when your body is working
hard.
• When it is not working fast enough, lactate
builds up in your muscles causes your
muscles to hurt.
THE ENERGY USED IN DANCING BY CHERRISH
PLUMMER
Aerobic or Anaerobic
• The motion of dancing (Ballet) is aerobic
• This particular activity is aerobic because in
most cases dancing is slow and rhythmical.
THE ENERGY USED IN DANCING BY CHERRISH
PLUMMER
Storage
• The body stores ATP in muscle in the form of
Glycogen.
• This storage is for needed energy for doing
activities
THE ENERGY USED IN DANCING BY CHERRISH
PLUMMER
Energy System
• The oxidative system is the primary source of
ATP during aerobic activities
• Oxidative energy primarily uses
carbohydrates and fats as substrates for
energy.
THE ENERGY USED IN DANCING BY CHERRISH
PLUMMER
Mitochondrial/Metabolic Rate
• Mitochondria are referred as the “powerhouse of the
cell”
• They also contain a lot of the enzymes, associated
with aerobic energy
• The aerobic oxidative system forms a big part of our
bodies metabolic rate.
