Input: [0] Description [ATP-PC] Provides ATP at a very fast rate. Your body holds limited stores of ATP-PC. Provides ATP at a slower rate than the other systems, but is great for endurance activities. [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Provides ATP fast, but not as fast as ATP-PC.

3 Ways the Body Produces Energy to Fuel Metabolism - For Dummies


Input: [0] Starting Fuel [ATP-PC] Phosphocreatine (PC) stored in the sarcomere. PC combines creatine and phosphate by using high-energy bonds. Fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Glucose stored in the muscle and liver in a concentrated form called glycogen. Glucose can be taken from muscle glycogen or transported from the blood via the liver.

3 Ways the Body Produces Energy to Fuel Metabolism - For Dummies


Input: [0] How Energy Is Produced [ATP-PC] The chemical bonds that hold creatine and phosphate together are broken, a process that releases energy that can remake new ATP. Fats and carbohydrates are delivered to the mitochondria and broken down to yield ATP. The waste product of a hydrogen ion (H+) is bonded to oxygen to form water. The other waste product is carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be breathed off. [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Enzymes in the cells convert glucose into lactic acid, producing ATP. Although ATP is needed to get glucose into the cell, you ultimately produce double the amount of ATP.

3 Ways the Body Produces Energy to Fuel Metabolism - For Dummies


Input: [0] Amount of Energy Produced [ATP-PC] Enough for about 10 seconds of very high-intensity exercise. Total amount depends on stores of PC and enzymes to convert it to ATP. The amount depends on enzymes, the availability of oxygen to the mitochondria, and the availability of carbohydrates and fats. With training, high levels of intensity for very long periods of time are possible (running a marathon at a 5 min/mile pace, for example). [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Enough to power heavy exercise for extended periods (2 minutes or more). The amount depends on the availability of glucose and enzymes needed for energy production, and the levels of lactic acid.

3 Ways the Body Produces Energy to Fuel Metabolism - For Dummies


Input: [0] Used Most for Activities Like [ATP-PC] 100-meter sprint, short sprint, high jump, swinging a bat. Long-duration, low-to-moderate–intensity activities, like walking, jogging running, hiking, and swimming. [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Intense activities lasting under 3 minutes, or during short bouts of heavy work.

3 Ways the Body Produces Energy to Fuel Metabolism - For Dummies


Input: [0] Cost or Tradeoff [ATP-PC] When you run out of PC, you slow down or weaken. Work intensity is lower; running pace can’t be as fast as a sprint. Altitude or another condition that limits available oxygen (mountain climbing above 5,000 feet, for example) reduces performance. [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Lactic acid builds up and causes the muscles to fatigue; it also shuts down glycolysis.

3 Ways the Body Produces Energy to Fuel Metabolism - For Dummies


Input: [0] How Training Maximizes these Fuel Sources [ATP-PC] Increases stores and enzymes to make ATP faster. Increases size and number of mitochondria and the number of enzymes to make ATP. [Anaerobic Glycolysis]

Output: Increases stores of glycogen and enzymes to make ATP faster and to better neutralize lactic acid.
