versus work output lessens as anaerobic glycolysis begins, also was
measured. High-intensity exercise of a short duration requires anaerobic
sources of ATP: Phosphocreatine, as with all-out, 100-meter sprints
(exercise under 30 seconds); and anaerobic glycolysis (the breakdown of
glucose), which is the primary energy source for high-intensity exercise
of one to three minutes (say, an 800-meter race). Fast-twitch
fibers, which produce ATP through anaerobic glycolysis, generate rapid,
powerful contractions but fatigue easily. |
