Enough ATP in muscles to last
1-3 secs
ATP-PC system
System used to rebuild ATP when we work at very high intensities for a very short period
Lasts for 8-10secs
What is broken down in ATP-PC system
PC broken down
Energy released to make 1ATP
30secs to get 50% PC back
Provides energy for high intensity activity
Lactate system
Lasts for 60-90 secs
Glucose/glycogen broken down
Into pyruvic acid
No O2 available to turn into lactic acid
Takes 8mins to recover
Gives 2ATP
