Training the energy systems Introduction To understand how to train an energy system we must first understand how each system works. The Anaerobic alactic system uses stored energy known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that is found in the muscles. The system relays on phosphocreatine to donate its phosphate to Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in order to convert it back to ATP. The system allows for quick serge of power, but it can only last for 10-15 seconds. The system does not require oxygen in order to work. The muscle fiber that requires this system is the type two B fast twitch. The next system is a more complicated system that consists of 10 reaction steps in which 4 ATP are produced and 2NADH; this is another energy molecule that will eventually create more ATP energy molecules. Glycolysis uses the energy molecule glucose from the food we ingest. The 10 steps process basically the breaks down glucose. If we were to use glucose directly to power the cell it would be like using “a rod of uranium to power a stereo ” It would just be too much power at once and it would destroy the cell.
