True or False?
The statement "fats make you slow" is ______
False.
Fats help endurance and hormone health
"ATP" stands for...
Adenosine Triphosphate
This molecule directly provides energy for muscle contraction
ATP
This macronutrient is the body’s preferred energy source for hockey shifts
Carbohydrates
During 6-second sprint from a standing start this system dominates
ATP-PC
"Energy drinks always improve performance.”
False.
Caffeine helps, but sugar crashes and dehydration can worsen performance.
the ATP-PCr system
The “PC” stands for what in ATP-PC
Phosphocreatine
Fats are important for endurance and recovery because they provide _________ and support hormone balance
long-lasting energy
During a 90-second power play shift, this system dominates
Glycolytic
“Protein cannot be a main fuel during intense exercise.”
True. Protein takes too long and is inefficient during intense exercise.
This is the main fuel for the glycolytic system
Carbohydrates
This system is the fastest at producing ATP
ATP-PCr system
This nutrient repairs muscle tissue after training
Protein
This system fuels a 5-minute recovery skate
Oxidative
“You need to hydrate as much in winter sports as you do summer sports.”
True.
Equipment and intensity still cause sweat loss
This system dominates between shifts or when steadily skating around on the ice
Oxidative (aerobic) system
This system is the slowest but most efficient at making ATP
The oxidative system
This kind snack works best 30 minutes before games or practices
Something high in carbs
This system dominates during a shootout sequence
ATP-PCr (with glycolytic support)
"You can train your body to run only on fat."
False.
You can get it used to using fats more, but CHO are needed for high-intensity moments
True or False: The body only uses one energy system at a time.
False — they overlap depending on intensity.
During an overtime period, which energy system contributes most overall
Oxidative system
You shouldn’t you skip carbs before a game because...
Low glycogen leads to fatigue, slower decision-making, reduced sprint power.
These two systems overlap the most during a shift
ATP-PCr + Glycolytic
