System 1
The first system, which is used anaerobically, is Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). This system will start for the first five to seven seconds of exercise. Our body converts them into a ‘energy currency’ called Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). The ATP-PC system the source of energy is the phosphocreatine. Carbohydrates and fats are the energy source for lactic acid and the aerobic system. There are two mechanisms for producing ATP these two types are aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Aerobic means with oxygen and the opposite is anaerobic which is without oxygen.
The sporting activities which will use this type of energy system are
- 100 Meter sprint
- Shot putt
- Heading a football
- Making a tackle
- Tennis Serves
The formula to this ATP system is ATP è ADP + P + Energy and the resynthesize is ADP + P + Energy è ATP
ATP is the form of energy the body uses. This will provide the energy in the muscles to enable muscles fibers to shorten and develop tension to be able to contract and create movement. The energy is taken from food we eat and is broken down. ATP is a high-energy compound, which makes up one of the adenosine molecule, which is attached to three phosphate molecules. The molecules are bound together by high-energy bonds. Fast explosive movements are created by 100m sprinting, long jumps. This requires ATP to do at a fast rate; anaerobic pathways supply this. Our muscles are able to store Phosphocreatine, which is in the muscles; this helps to resynthesize ADP back to ATP to provide us with energy.

The adenosine and phosphate molecules do not contain the energy; the energy is stored in the high-energy bonds. To get the energy we need to break down the bonds, which are attached to the molecules. Once the ATP has been broken down the second compound called the Adenosine Di Phosphate (ADP) is left. To create more energy a loose phosphate is created. Once the PC molecule compound has broken PC needs to go back to the adenine to create more energy. If this doesn’t recreate then our energy wouldn’t last as long, so it recreates until we run out of phosphocreatine. This energy system will last for eight to ten seconds and can only be used for high intensity, which are short activities like 100-meter sprint. Recovery Time is thirty seconds to four minutes.
