ENERGY SYSTEMS
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
INTRODUCTION
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 andjumping
require a large amount of energy used in short a 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. It is important for our body to get the energy it needs to
effectively perform these physical activities.
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 triphosphate (ATP). ATP supplies energy to muscle cells for muscular
contraction during physical activity. Creatine phosphate (CP), like ATP, is stored in
muscle cells. When it is broken down, a large amount of energy is released. Three
energy systems work together as we exercise. However, a specific energy system can
dominate depending on the intensity and of type of activity that is being done.
What Are The Three Energy Systems?
Anaerobic A-Lactic (ATP-CP) Energy System
Anaerobic A-Lactic or ATP-CP 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). Many athletes who participate in
sports competitions require short amounts of acceleration.

Athletic events like the shot put, weight lifting, and 100-meter sprint are examples of
physical activities that utilize the ATP-CP energy system. However, the ATP-CP system
will not supply ATP again until the muscles have rested and have been able to
regenerate.
Anaerobic Lactic (Glycolytic) Energy System

Anaerobic Lactic 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 a 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. The difference between
the two systems is amount of time that the system can work. Thus, if an athlete exceeds
ten seconds while sprinting, the anaerobic lactic system kicks in to provide energy.
ANAEROBIC EXERCISES
 There are two energy systems which use the anaerobic pathways; ATP-PC and the
Lactic Acid systems.
 These anaerobic exercises cannot last long because oxygen is not used for energy
and fatiguing metabolic by-products.
 Anaerobic exercise helps us increase our muscle strength and stay ready for quick
bursts of speed.
 Anaerobic exercise uses muscles at high intensity and a high rate of work for a
short period of time. The term "anaerobic" means "without air" or "without
oxygen."
 Examples of anaerobic exercise include heavy weight lifting, sprinting, or any rapid
burst of hard exercise.

Aerobic Energy System

Most of sports and activities use aerobic energy system. Aerobic energy system
provides energy for low 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 (e.g. basketball, soccer, futsal). If a person
exercises for 8 minutes, aerobic energy system will become a dominant source of that
person’s energy. Aerobic energy system continually produces ATP energy to muscles
as long as oxygen is available to muscles in the body. Unlike anaerobic lactic system,
aerobic energy system does not produce lactic acid since oxygen is available to the
muscles. Most sports and physical activities use these energy systems. Though there
are times when one energy system dominates during a specific type of physical activity,
it is important to understand that all energy systems are active. Each energy system
changes during the activity depending on its duration and intensity. Therefore, once we
engage in physical activities or sports, all three energy systems may be in use but in
varying degrees.
AEROBIC EXERCISES
 Aerobic exercise includes lower intensity activities performed for longer periods of
time.
 The energy system that is used in aerobic exercise is called the aerobic system. It
can also be called ‘oxygen system’ or the ‘aerobic glycolysis system’.
 Activities like walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling require a great deal of oxygen
to make the energy needed for prolonged exercise.

Activity 2: Let’s Get Energized

In this activity, the students should learn different physical activities that use energy
system.
Directions: Think of and list down physical activities that use any or all of the three
energy systems.
Anaerobic A-Lactic System Anaerobic Lactic System Aerobic Energy System

Directions: After doing Activity 2, answer the following questions below.
1. How will you differentiate anaerobic a-lactic and anaerobic lactic system?
What do they have in common? Explain.
2. How does the aerobic energy system work in our body? How does it differ from 2
anaerobic systems? Explain.
