Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ATP-CP energy system provides immediate energy for short, intense bursts of activity lasting up to 10 seconds, such as weightlifting or sprinting. The ATP-CP system does not require oxygen and uses stored ATP and creatine phosphate to produce energy. The glycolytic energy system provides energy for longer, moderate-intensity activity lasting up to a few minutes, while the aerobic energy system is used for prolonged, lower-intensity activity that requires oxygen for energy production. There is no such thing as an extracellular energy system.
