During continuous aerobic exercise your intensity level, relative to the high intensity levels that recruit your alactic anaerobic and lactic anaerobic energy systems, must be reduced so that the energy demand placed on your muscles equals the energy supply (compare this to the alactic anaerobic and
lactic anaerobic systems, where demand usually exceeds supply and energy stores are quickly depleted).
Not exact matches
It is also referred to as the
lactic acid
system or the
anaerobic glycolytic
system.
In contrast to the alactic
anaerobic energy
system, which uses ATP stored from previous cellular respiration in combination with a PCr phosphate buffer, the
lactic anaerobic energy
system must directly recruit the active cellular respiration process to provide ATP energy.
Running employs aerobic energy
system (produces energy from oxygen, fat and carbohydrate), which turns to
anaerobic lactic acid energy
system (higher percent of carbohydrate used in relation to oxygen) if running short distances at high speed.
The enhancing effect of BioSteel HPSD may be attributed to a more efficient use of
lactic anaerobic energy
system (
anaerobic glycolysis) allowing continuation of muscular power production for a maximum of 2 min.
Low reps, explosive movement weight training that uses
anaerobic creatine energy
system leads to an increased muscle ability to store creatine and regenerates it faster after it's been depleted (more creatine — an extra repetition with heavy weight); high reps, slower movement weight training that uses
anaerobic lactic acid energy
system increases muscle tolerance to
lactic acid (more muscle endurance, required in extreme situations when there's a need to perform at a high intensity and sustain it for as long as possible — fighting for dear life is a good example).
Read this article to learn about the alactic
anaerobic,
lactic anaerobic, and aerobic exercise energy
systems.
The alactic
anaerobic energy
system described above is the first
system recruited for muscle contraction and can last for only about 10 seconds of intense exercise after which the
lactic anaerobic and aerobic energy
systems become the main contributors to ATP production.
This method of ATP generation is called the alactic (this word means «without
lactic acid»)
anaerobic (this word means «without oxygen») energy
system, and it is one of three Exercise Energy
Systems that your body can recruit to generate ATP while you exercise.
