Energy SystemsATP-CP system (Phosphogen system) - This system is used only for very
short durations of up to 10 seconds. Anaerobic system - Predominates in supplying energy for exercises lasting less than 2 minutes. Also known as the Glycolytic System. Aerobic system - This is the long duration energy system. By 5 minutes of exercise the O2 system is clearly the dominant system. |
