ATP is the energy currency of the body
Three different energy systems to get
ATP
Phosphagen system
Very short term
Anaerobic system
Short term
Aerobic system
Unlimited capacity to make ATP (practically)
They are not
sequential, but
rather work in
unison
Phosphagen system
Phosphagen system
Used for maximum intensity (sprinting)
Anaerobic production of ATP via stored
phosphocreatine (PCr)
Creatine kinase breaks apart PCr into
phosphate and creatine
The phosphate joins ADP to form ATP
Energy supply only lasts about 10 seconds
McArdle, W., Katch, F. & Katch, V.(2005). Sports & Exercise Nutrition.
Anaerobic system
Anaerobic system
Also known as glycogen-lactic acid system
Stored glycogen (chain of glucose)
converted to glucose
Anaerobically, ATP is made with lactic
acid as a by-product
ATP supplied at a slower rate than
phosphagen system
Can provide energy for about 90-180
seconds
McArdle, W., Katch, F. & Katch, V.(2005). Sports & Exercise Nutrition.
Aerobic system
Aerobic system
After ~ 2 min muscles need oxygen
With O2, glucose broken down into

Athletes should limit trans fats and saturated fats (i.e.
fatty meats, butter, ribs, sausage, commercially baked
goods, shortenings, frozen breaded foods and fries,
stick margarine)
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins and Minerals
Exercise stresses metabolic pathways where
micronutrients are required
Exercise also may increase the turnover of
these macronutrients
Training may result in increased needs for
vitamins and minerals
If exercise can increase O2 consumption 15 fold,
is it a constant oxidative stress on the muscles?

College of Medicine : Nutrition and Athletic Performance. Journal of American Dietetic Association,
(2009).
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins and Minerals
Do athletes require extra vitamin and
mineral supplements?
SHORT ANSWER: Maybe
LONG ANSWER: Because of the significant
stresses placed on the body during training it
is theorized that additional antioxidant
nutrients may be helpful for the recovery
process. However, because of the athletes
greater caloric intake ingestion of these
additional nutrients should naturally occur if
following balanced eating patterns.

Amino acid
Typically in supplements as arginine alpha-
ketoglutarate

hormone secretion and to help nitric oxide
(NO) synthesis
NO acts as a vasodilator therefore
supposedly improves blood flow to muscles

Also difficult to measure NO levels in muscles as it is

Has been promoted as being effective against a wide
