Anaerobic produces energy in the absence of oxygen
glycogen and phosphocreatine (PCr) are fuels
used during anaerobic metabolism
both glycogen and fats are used during anaerobic
metabolism to yield adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
glycogen carbohydrates
phosphocreatine (PCr) a phosphate ester of creatine found in vertebrate
muscle, where it serves to store phosphates to
provide energy for muscular contraction.
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the energy currency of the body
Anaerobic and aerobic relationship there will always be a contribution from both the
aerobic and anaerobic systems at all intensities of
exercises
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - system is responsible for the highest- intensity
phosphocreatine (PCr) exercise
supplying the energy needed in activities such as a
100- yard dash, 25 yard swim, or a sprint at the end
of a bike race.
ATP- PCr is stored within the specific muscles activated
during exercise
PCr break down is broken down to offer the body a source of
phosphate, which is donated to adenosine
diphosphate (ADP) to make ATP

Benefits to training in the ATP-PCr Development and improvement of type Iix **( see
system fast glycolytic muscle fibers in glossary section)
muscle fibers, neuromuscular coordination,
explosive power, speed and anaerobic capacity
Anaerobic Glycolysis (Glycogen- Primarily for intense exercise lasting from approx.
lactic acid system) 30 seconds to 3 minutes
anaerobic/ glycolytic system and predominates
when energy demands exceed oxygen supply
Anaerobic/ glycolytic system 400 m sprint on a running track or an acceleration
example up a short hill on a bike
system is fueled by metabolism of sugar (glucose) -
used to produce ATP
Anaerobic activity anaerobic/ produce ATP longer than the ATP-PCr system
glycolytic system can...
however:
its resources deplete faster than those of the
aerobic system
Pyruvate During anaerobic exercise, a by-product called
pyruvate is converted to a lactic acid which in turn
quickly dissociates, or breaks down, to lactate and
a hydrogen ion.
(Breakdown of lactic acid)
Breakdown of lactic acid
