All Systems Go! Energy Systems of the Body

There's a common misconception that the three energy systems of the body function like a set of light bulbs, switching from one to the other as the duration of exercise gets longer. Current research shows, however, that the ATP-PC, Lactic and Aerobic systems are used together for almost all physical activity. This programme clearly explains how, via discussion of anaerobic and aerobic glycolysis, how myosin and acting use ATP to contract muscles, oxygen uptake and oxygen deficit, the interplay of the three energy systems and chronic and acute training effects.
