Aerobic Energy System

Aerobic Glycolysis
1. Glycogen from Carbohydrates
  1. By-products
  2. Fruit, bread, cereal, pasta, rice, nuts and vegetables
  3. Preferred fuel source
2. 36 ATP produced per molecule
Aerobic Lipolysis
1. FFAs from fats
  1. By- products
    1. CO2, H20, Heat
  2. Butter, margarine, cheese, full cream dairy products, oils, nuts, fatty meats
2. 441 ATP produced per molecule
  Annotations:
  - One fatty acid molecule contains 147 ATP of energy and each triglyceride molecule contains three fatty acids.
Amino acids from Protein
1. Lean meat, fish, poultry, legumes, eggs, lentils, grains, seeds, cheese, seafood
2. Only used under extreme circumstances
  Annotations:
  - such as starvation, extended illness or depletion of CHO's and FFA's
Dominant energy system at rest and sub maximal intensity
Provides 30-50 times as much ATP as the ATP-PC and anaerobic systems combined
Peak power 1-1.5 minutes
Fatigue
1. Fuel depletion (glycogen stores/fats)
2. Elevated body temperature
  1. Dehydration
  2. Blood flow away from muscles
Recovery
1. High GI Foods
  1. Sports drinks
    Annotations:
    - Hypertonic to replace glycogen Hypotonic to replace lost fluids
2. Active recovery
3. Massage
4. Hydrotherapy
  Annotations:
  - Hold/cold showers
