Lesson 2: Energy Systems

PE&HEALTH 11
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Enumerate and identify the three energy
systems
2. Explain the differences among the three
energy systems and how they work
3. Perform physical activities that use three
energy systems
Act. 1: LET'S FIND OUT

• Have you ever done push-ups and running?


Recite in class what the two activities have in
common.
• Our body needs specific amount of energy
when we do physical activities. When we
exercise, a low or high amount of energy is
supplied to muscles depending on the duration,
intensity, and nature of the exercise. Activities
like sprinting and jumping require a large
amount of energy used in short period of time.
On the other hand, marathon running and long-
distance swimming require low but steady
amount of energy over a longer period of time.
• The food that we eat is a source of energy. Eating before
doing exercise can contribute to performance. There is a
complex chemical process called cellular respiration in
which our body takes in food and uses it to convert and
produce adenosine triphospate (ATP). ATP supplies
energy to muscle cells for muscular contraction during
physical activity. Creatine phospate (CP), like ATP, is
stored in muscles cells. When broken down, a large
amount ofenergy is released. Three energy systems
work together as we exercise. However, a specific
energy system can dominate depending on the intensity
and type of activity that is being done.
Act. 2: Let's Find Out

1. Form the class into 3 groups. Each group will be


assigned with a topic. The group will choose the Leader,
Secretary and Reporter.
2. Provide the foll:

DEFINITION CHARACTERISTICS
GROUP 1: Aerobic Energy System
GROUP 2: Anaerobic Lactic
(Glycolytic) Energy System
GROUP 3: Anaerobic A-Lactic (ATP-CP)
Energy Systems
Anaerobic A-Lactic (ATP-CP) Energy
System
• is a dominant source of muscle energy for
high intensity physical activities. It provides
high bursts of start up energy that lasts
around ten seconds or less. ATP-CP
provides immediate energy without requiring
any oxygen (anaerobic) and does not
produce lactic acid (a-lactic).
Anaerobic Lactic (Glycolytic) Energy System
• is also known as the glycolytic energy system, an energy
system that supplies energy for medium to high intensity
physical activities. These high intensity activities usually
last from ten seconds to two minutes. When an athlete
sprints for 400 meters, lactic acid builds up in blood and
muscle cells. Normally, there is a shortness of breath,
and burning sensation in the muscles once lactic acid is
produced. Same as with ATP-CP, the anaerobic lactic
system does not require oxygen but is capable of
supplying energy for high intensity activities.
Aerobic Energy System
• provides energy for low activities intensity
physical activities that last from two minutes
to a few hours. Aerobic energy system,
compared to ATP-CP and glycolytic energy
system, requires much longer oxygen in
muscles in doing physical activities like long
distance swimming, running, and playing
sports.
Activity 3: Let's Get Energized
• Divide the class into 5 groups. Ask each group to think of and
list down physical activities that use any or all of the three
energy systems. Do these activities.

Act. 4: Let's Reflect
• After doing Activity 2, answer the following questions
below.
1. What did you feel after the actvity?
2. How will you differentiate anaerobic a-lactic and
anaerobic lactic system? What do they have in
common? Explain.
3. How does the aerobic energy system work in our
body? How does it differ from 2 anaerobic systems?
Explain.
