NUTRIENTS
This nutrient is the body’s primary quick source of energy.
What are carbohydrates?
This energy system is used during short, explosive efforts lasting about 5–10 seconds.
What is the Phosphagen or ATP-PC system?
This energy system is primarily used during a basketball fast break.
What is the phosphagen or ATP-PC system?
This explains why sprinters rely on short-term energy systems instead of aerobic (oxidative) metabolism.
What is the need for immediate, high-power energy?
This nutrient is essential for muscle repair and recovery.
What is protein?
This energy system produces energy without oxygen.
What is glycolytic?
This energy system is heavily relied on during a 400-meter race.
What is the glycolytic system?
This is what happens to performance when an athlete does not consume enough carbohydrates.
What is decreased energy or fatigue?
This nutrient provides the most energy per gram.
What are fats?
This energy system is dominant during long-duration, steady-state exercise.
What is oxidative?
This energy system is most dominant during a full soccer match.
What is the oxidative system?
This would be an appropriate quick fuel source before high-intensity activity.
What is a carbohydrate-rich food?
This process helps regulate body temperature and maintain performance during exercise
What is hydration?
This is the reason the ATP-PC system fatigues quickly during activity.
What is limited stored ATP and creatine phosphate?
This concept explains why multiple energy systems are used during most sports.
What is energy system overlap?
This is the most likely reason an athlete feels fatigued late in a game.
What is depleted glycogen stores (low energy)?
