PTS Canfitpro Exam ( Answers)
Name the four ATP energy systems and how long they provide energy for.
ATP-CP - 1-10 sec's at very high intensity \nGlycolytic - high
intensity 10 secs - 2-3 min\nOxidative - mid to low intensity +2 min\nFatty
Acid Oxidation - low intensity +2 min
How many units of ATP does each ATP energy system deliver? correct
answers ATP-CP: 1 unit of ATP/ unit of CP
Glycolytic: 2-3 ATP/unit of glucose
Oxidative: 38 ATP/ unit of glucose
Fatty Acid Oxidation: 100 ATP/unit of fatty acid
