+2 min
How many units of ATP for each ATP energy system?
.....ANSWER.....ATP-CP
1 unit of ATP/ unit of CP
Glycolytic
2-3 ATP/unit of glucose
Oxidative
38 ATP/ unit of glucose
,Page 3 of 112
Fatty Acid Oxidation

What is EPOC? .....ANSWER.....excess post-exercise oxygen
consumption
What is the lactate threshold? .....ANSWER.....The point at which
the aerobic system cannot supply enough ATP for the needs of
the body
What type of fuel does the ATP-CP energy system use?
.....ANSWER.....Stored ATP
what type of fuel does the glycolytic system use?
.....ANSWER.....blood glucose, muscle glycogen
what type of fuel does the oxidative system use?
.....ANSWER.....blood glucose, muscle glycogen
what type of fuel does the fatty acid oxidation system use?
.....ANSWER.....fatty acids in the blood stream

What is the work to rest ratio for ATP-CP interval training?
.....ANSWER.....1:3-1:6
What is the work to rest ratio for glycolitic system interval
training? .....ANSWER.....1:2-1:5
What is the work to rest ratio for oxidative system interval
training? .....ANSWER.....1: .5 - 1:1
Why do you not use work relief to train ATP-CP system?
.....ANSWER.....Adequate rest is needed to replenish ATP in the
cells.
Why would you use work relief to train glycolytic system?
.....ANSWER.....work relief blocks the replenishing of ATP within
the cells and ensures that body relies on the lactic acid system
Why does oxidative interval training rely on rest relief?
.....ANSWER.....If the lactic acid is not cleared from the system the
glycolic system is less able to provide energy therefore giving a
stronger training stimulus to the oxidative system
