can you do the same for ATP (anaerobic alactic system ): Location of activity: cytoplasm
Energy source: glucose (glycogen)
Uses oxygen: anaerobic (without oxygen)
Duration: 15 seconds – 3 minutes (45 second hockey shift)
By-products: lactic acid
Advantages: quick surge of power
Limitations: buildup of H ions causes pain/fatigue
Muscle fibre type: type IIA (fast – twitch)
Sure! Here's the breakdown for the ATP (anaerobic alactic system):
Location of activity: The ATP (anaerobic alactic) system takes place in the cytoplasm of the muscle cells.
Energy source: The energy source for this system is glucose, more specifically glycogen, which is a stored form of glucose in the muscles.
Uses oxygen: The ATP (anaerobic alactic) system does not require oxygen to produce energy. It is anaerobic, meaning it can function without oxygen.
Duration: This system can provide energy for short bursts of high-intensity activity lasting between 15 seconds to 3 minutes. For example, a 45-second hockey shift can be supported by this system.
By-products: The by-product produced during the ATP (anaerobic alactic) system is lactic acid. However, it should be noted that the production of lactic acid is minimal during this system compared to the ATP (anaerobic lactic) system.
Advantages: One of the main advantages of the ATP (anaerobic alactic) system is that it can provide a quick surge of power or energy. It allows for rapid and immediate energy release, making it suitable for intense and explosive movements.
Limitations: One limitation of the ATP (anaerobic alactic) system is the buildup of hydrogen ions (H+). These ions contribute to the accumulation of lactic acid, leading to the sensation of pain and muscle fatigue. As a result, the system is not sustainable for prolonged periods.
Muscle fibre type: The ATP (anaerobic alactic) system predominantly relies on type IIA muscle fibers, also known as fast-twitch muscle fibers. These fibers have a higher capacity for generating force and anaerobic energy production, making them well-suited for short bursts of intense activity.
