 How to learn from this module

This module is designed for independent learner who will go through with the activity, concepts,
application and assessment. Concepts were organized independently which means the previous
lessons are essential to understand the preceding lessons.
The content part provides you a key concepts to focus on through a set of explanation that help you
understand the module better. Read them carefully using the questions and study guide and try to
find the meaning of terms in the dictionary if there are terms which are not familiar to you.

“Regardless of the type of effort, the body never closes off all energy systems completely.”

The following are the Key Questions for this module:

What is the use of ATP in the body?

How body utilize the energy that our body intake
What is the energy system involved in specific strengthening activity?

 What I Need to Know

Objectives: After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Analyse each energy system in terms of

a. source of fuel;
b. efficiency of ATP production; and
c. Duration that the system can operate.
2. Identify and perform exercises in each energy system.
3. Enhance appreciation in physical fitness through the activities in the modules.

CONTENT STANDARD
The learner demonstrates understanding of fitness and exercise in optimizing one’s health as
a habit; as requisite for physical activity assessment performance, and as a career
opportunity.

PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The learner leads fitness events with proficiency and confidence resulting in independent
pursuit and in influencing others positively.

LEARNING COMPETENCY
The leaner explains how to optimize the energy systems for safe and improved performance.

What’s In

ACTIVITY 1: LET’S DO THIS CHALLENGE!!!

You will to perform the simple workouts written below and try to execute properly
because through this you will be find-out the different energy systems involved.

Are you ready? Check the following:

 Exercise Attire
 Safe place to perform the exercises
 Water and extra cloth/towel
 Stop Watch (You may use your cellphone or any gadget available)
 Ladder marks (You may draw a ladder on the floor/ground)

If you are ready then let’s start:

I. Warm-up and Stretching Exercises (5- Minutes)

Jumping Jack, Jog in Place, High knee jog, and Kick front jog
(3 sets of 40 Seconds, Rest Interval: 10 seconds)
Basic Stretching from head to toe
(Neck bending, arm circling, side bending, hip rotation, & lunge side-front
back)

II. Conditioning Proper (20 Minutes)

Fitness Frequency Intensity Time Type

Components
Cardiovascular
Endurance 3x 200M Easy 5 minutes Jogging
3 Ladder drills
(Side steps, Hop inward-
Speed & Agility 3x each drill Easy 7 Minutes outward, Sprint steps
Box Jumps

III. Cool-down (5 Minutes)

Head tilt, Side bend, Side reach, calf stretch, breathing exercises

QUESTIONS:
1. How do you feel with the activity?
2. Dou you find it difficult? Why?
3. Which exercise makes your pulse rate increase very rapidly while performing it?
4. Do you experience muscle pain while performing? What particular exercise?

As you perform the different exercises, your body also process different systems to
produce energy. As you noticed, there are parts of exercises that make your muscles tired and
some parts make your heart rate increased rapidly. This module will help you analyze the
different energy systems involved in physical activities. In performing physical activities, you
need to identify what types of energy system you are working with so that you will understand
how your body reacts to the exercises. It will also help you find-out how to optimize the energy
system for safe and improved performance.

 What Is It

Let s familiarize and understand the essential terminologies that are used in the
discussion on the energy systems.

UNLOCKING DIFFICULTIES
TERMINOLOGIES MEANING
Adenosine It is an organic compound that provides energy to drive many process
triphosphate in living cells. E.g. muscle contraction.
It consist of a base (adenine) and tree phosphate group
Aerobic System This means that the aerobic energy system relies on the circulatory
system (Breathing in oxygen) in order to create ATP for energy use. It
also uses fats, glucose, carbohydrates and protein.
Anaerobic It is a process of producing ATP without using oxygen.
System Provides the body with explosive short term energy without the need
of oxygen. Breakdown the glucose without using oxygen.
Creatine This system take place when the ATP runs out to put into action, A
Phosphate chemeical reactions occurs where a phosphate (P) splits away and
System neregy is relased .
Glycogen It is stored form of glucose found in the liver and muscles which made
up of connected glucose molecules.
Lactic Acid It is an organic acid produced in the muscles tissues during strenuous
exercises.
Mitochondria It is known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelle which
takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich
molecules for the cell.

A. ENERGY SYSTEMS AND ITS ATP PRODUCTION RATE

Energy is needed to produce physical movements, maintain body temperature, and

keep up metabolic activities. In our body, all physical movements require a compound
called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is stored in the muscles so it is available
immediately to produce movements. However, stored ATP in the muscles is limited. Any
movement that last longer than few seconds requires more ATP to be produced through
another compound process (See illustration on the next page).

E 3 RGY SYSTEM
3 TYPES N (Energy is needed to produce physical
E movements in our body. Al movements
OF requires a compound called Adenosine
Triphosphate or ATP).  Very rapid production of
ATP-PCr ATP but not over a long
duration.
System  Short sustained power

 Rapid production of ATP

Glycolytic but not over a long duration.
 Movements at a maximum
System effort for 1 to 2 minutes

 Slow production of ATP but

Oxidative for a long duration
 Moderate to vigorous long
System duration activities to 3 minutes
and longer

The illustration above shows the 3 types of energy systems in terms of their rate
production of ATP and the capacity to sustain the energy. It shows that the ATP-PCr
SYSTEM produced ATP quickly since it utilized the available ATP stored in the muscles and
PCr however it can sustain physical movements from 6 seconds to 15 seconds because the
stored ATP-PCr in the muscles is limited.

Any physical movement beyond 15 seconds utilized Carbohydrates through glucose (basic
form of carbohydrate) to produce ATP called GLYCOLYCTIC SYSTEM and it can sustained
movements up to 2 minutes but it has a by-product called Lactic acid that lead to Muscle
Fatigue.

The OXIDATIVE SYSTEM involves the use of oxygen to produce ATP. This system can use
carbs, fats, or if necessary, even protein, however, fats and proteins have to be broken down,
so when the system uses them, the process becomes longer. This system is used for longer
duration activities

 B. MAIN USE OF EACH ENERGY SYSTEM

The type of fuel you use depends upon exercise duration, intensity, and type as
illustrated below:

The ATP-PCr system

Explosive Movements
(Examples: Jumps, kicks,
punch, & power lifting)

Lactic Acid System Oxidative System

High Intensity movement Vigorous intensity
(Examples: Sprint (Examples: Distance
running & Plyometric) running & aerobic dance)

In terms of energy expenditure as illustrated above, ATP-CPr SYSTEM is responsible

for the blast movements like jumps, kicks, punch, and power lifting. The quick maximum force
can be observed in many physical activities such as squat jump and burpees in cross-fit
workout.

The LACTIC ACID SYSTEM is responsible for the maximum force longer than the
ATP- CPr System like Sprint running & some exercises in plyometric workout such as Box
jumps,

The OXIDATIVE SYSTEM which involves the use of oxygen is responsible for the
moderate to vigorous intensity movements like distance running, aerobic dancing, and cycling.
Exercises that last approximately beyond three minutes are operated with Oxidative System.

 C. Fact about Energy Systems in Children

DID YOU KNOW WHY

CHILDREN DO’NT GET TIRED
EASILY WHEN THEY ARE

Reason:
Children have more mitochondria in their muscles
and are therefore more able to use oxygen more
efficiency. They have limited supplies of muscles
and liver glycogen, smaller anaerobic fuel stores and
the capacity to use it. So they are not able to tolerate
short burst of energy of exercises that require high
intensity and short repetition. However this does
improved with age.
