What is energy?
It is the entity that enables our bodies to perform work.
It has no shape.
It has no physical mass.
Our bodies rely on chemical energy.
23
What is the body’s source of energy?
Macronutrients
Carbohydrates
Fats
Proteins
Body’s direct energy source
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Figure 2.19 The ADP–ATP cycle. When extracting energy from nutrients, the formation of ATP from ADP + Pi captures energy.
24
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Body’s energy source
Two high-energy bonds
Other phosphates
ADP
AMP
Figure 2.20 ATP, ADP, AMP, and high-energy phosphate bonds. Your body can readily use the energy in high-energy phosphate bonds.

Phosphagen Energy System
Stores of high-energy phosphates
ATP
Creatine phosphate (CP)
Also known as:
Immediate energy system
ATP-CP system
Figure 2.24 The ATP–CP energy system.
32
Anaerobic Energy System
Involves only carbohydrates
Does not require oxygen
Also known as:
Anaerobic glycolysis
Figure 2.28 Anaerobic glycolysis.
33
Aerobic Energy System
Involves all macronutrients
Requires oxygen
Also known as:
Oxidative system
Figure 2.29 Aerobic metabolism of the macronutrients.

Carbohydrate intake impacts protein metabolism
Carbohydrates are an important energy source for the body.
Low CHO intake can result in muscle protein breakdown and loss of muscle mass.
Gluconeogenesis forms glucose from proteins.
Adequate carbohydrate intake spares muscle mass.

Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity
Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity (1 of 5)
The small storage pool of ATP is the source of energy whenever instantaneous energy is needed.
Figure 2.25 The three energy systems work together to meet the energy demands of any level of physical activity.
Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity (2 of 5)
During short bursts of intense activity (i.e., 100m run), the phosphagen system is the main energy system that supplies the ATP pool.
Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity
Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity (3 of 5)
During longer-lasting sprint activities of lower intensity (e.g., 800m run), the main supplier is the anaerobic system with help from the phosphagen and aerobic systems.
Figure 2.25 The three energy systems work together to meet the energy demands of any level of physical activity.
Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity (4 of 5)
During longer-lasting activities of even lower intensity (e.g., mile run), the main supplier becomes the aerobic system with help from the anaerobic system.
Figure 2.25 The three energy systems work together to meet the energy demands of any level of physical activity.
Energy System Contributions to Activities of Varying Intensity (5 of 5)
During long-lasting activities of low intensity (i.e., any sustainable activity), the main supplier becomes the aerobic system with minimal help from the other systems.
Figure 2.25 The three energy systems work together to meet the energy demands of any level of physical activity.
