3️⃣ Aerobic System (Oxidative Phosphorylation)
Uses oxygen to turn carbs, fats, and protein into ATP.
Works for long-duration exercise.
Slower, but sustainable.
1️⃣ a ATP-PCr System
Uses phosphocreatine (PCr) to quickly rebuild ATP.
Works without oxygen → perfect for sprints or explosive movements (~10 sec max).
PCr stores are limited, so it’s best for short, intense bursts.
Muscles need ATP to contract, but the ATP in your cells only lasts a few seconds. Your body has 3 main energy systems to rebuild ATP so you can keep moving:
Getting tired too fast?
It’s not your effort.... it’s your energy system 🔋
