Learning outcome 5 The learner will: understand the different types of energy systems

The learner must:
 describe the different types of energy systems
 explain their use in sport and exercise activities

Learners must describe the different energy systems and their use in sport and exercise activities. The
energy systems that must be covered are:
 aerobic
 lactic acid
 phosphocreatine

For each energy system learners must include:
 the fuels used
 the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced
 by-products and recovery time

Learners must also describe how the energy systems work together to provide a continuous supply of
energy during exercise.
Specialist sources refer to sources of anatomy and physiology information which are credible which
could include text/reference books, experts in the field, research/evidence based.
Different formats refer to the use of different ways that anatomy and physiology information may be
presented which could include journals or videos.
