It consists of an adenosine molecule and three inorganic phosphates. After a simple reaction breaking down ATP to ADP, the energy released from the breaking of a molecular bond is the energy we use to keep ourselves alive.
The Alactic Energy System. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) stores in the muscle last for approximately 2 seconds and the resynthesis of ATP from Creatine Phosphate (CP) will continue until CP stores in the muscles are depleted, approximately 4 to 6 seconds. This gives us around 5 to 8 seconds of ATP production. To develop this energy system, sessions of 4 to 8 seconds of high intensity work at near peak velocity are required e.g. 3 Ã 10 Ã 30 metres with recovery of 30 seconds/repetition and 3 minutes/set. 15 Ã 60 metres with 60 seconds recovery.
