Energy systems — ATP, glycolytic, aerobic
BTEC: Sport and Physical Activity: Energy systems — ATP, glycolytic, aerobic
What you'll learn
- 1
Imagine your body is like a phone battery — it needs energy to work. That energy comes from a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
- 2
What is the name of the molecule that gives your body energy?
- 3
Think of ATP like a rechargeable battery. When it's full, it has 3 'phosphate' bits. When you use it, one bit pops off and releases energy.
- 4
Let's look at the 3 energy systems — like 3 different ways to recharge your battery.
- 5
Drag each activity to the correct energy system it uses most.
- 6
Which energy system uses oxygen and lasts the longest?
- 7
During a 400m run (about 60 seconds), which system is working hardest?
