Food that we ingest is stored and burnt to fuel Food that we ingest is stored and burnt to fuel our musclesour muscles
This food must be converted This food must be converted into a chemical compound into a chemical compound called called ATPATP
WithoutWithout ATPATP, , Muscles Muscles cannot contractcannot contract
A.T.P.
Adenosine triphosphate. This is energy for muscle
contraction. Energy for movement of muscle
fibres is stored in the muscle as a molecule of ATP.Adenosine P P P
Adenosine triphosphate
To use the stored ATP
To release the energy, ATP is broken down into ADP + Pi (Adenosine diphosphate + Phosphate molecule)
The energy released allows for a muscle contraction.
Adenosine P P + Pi
Energy
Resynthesis of ATP
There is only enough stored ATP for about 1-2 contractions, soooo….we must resynthesise ADP back into ATP.
Fuel and energy for this comes from CHO, Fats, Proteins and Creatine phosphate.
These fuel sources resynthesise the free Phosphate molecule (Pi) back to the ADP to reform ATP.
Adenosine P P Pi
Adenosine P P + Pi
CHO, Fats, Proteins, CP
Resynthesises the ADP back to ATP
ATP is used in all 3 energy systems.
The type of energy system used and the interplay
between them depends on the frequency, duration,
intensity of the activity and fitness levels of the individual.
The 3 energy systems
The ATP – PC system Alactacid system Creatine phosphate system Phosphagen system.
The Lactic Acid Systems Anaerobic glycolysis system Lactacid system
Aerobic System Aerobic Glycolysis
ATP –PC system
ATP breaks down to ADP + Pi to release energy.
The ADP + Pi must be reformed to ATP for continued muscle function.
PC provides the energy for the free Pi to be re-attached to the ADP molecule to form ATP.
ATP –PC system cont..
PC stored in the muscles breaks down anaerobically (without O2) to form Phosphate and creatine. This releases energy for the resynthesis of ATP.
It takes 2 PC molecules to resynthesise 1 ATP molecule (one PC = 0.7 ATP).
NOTE: The resynthesis of PC (Phosphate + creatine = PC) occurs in the recovery phase.

Summary
Each ATP molecule is made up of an adenosine part and three phosphate groups. When 1 mole (1) of ATP is broken down, 7 to 12 Kcal (2) of energy is released.
Besides ATP, there is still another high-energy compound called phosphocreatine (PC) inside the human muscle cells. When PC is broken down, energy is released for the resynthesis of ATP.
Summary Cont…
However, the total amount of PC stored in the human body is also extremely limited. There are altogether 450 to 510 mM PC, or 4.5 to 5.1 Kcal of energy in the human body. The energy released from the breaking down of ATP is also required to resynthesize PC. Nevertheless, this process will be carried out when the human body is in the recovery stage.
The complete ATP-PC system can only supply 5.7 to 6.9 Kcal of energy, which can maintain about 10 seconds of maximal efforts.
Summary cont…
The importance of the ATP-PC system is that it is the instant
energy source in the human body. The ATP-PC system does not require oxygen in the muscles
for proper functioning. Besides, the required fuels (ATP and PC) have already been stored in the muscle cells
The chemical reactions involved when PC is broken down are fewer than the other two energy systems.
The ATP-PC system is particularly important for high-intensity and high- speed activities that need to be completed in a few seconds (e.g., starting, jumping, throwing, and weight lifting).
LACTIC ACID SYSTEMLACTIC ACID SYSTEM Body uses stored fuel of GLYCOGEN to REMAKE ATP
