LESSON 1: ENERGY SYSTEM
EXPECTATIONS
This module will help you to:
• Know the meaning of Energy System
• Identify the different kinds of Energy Systems
• Discuss the importance of Energy System in dance
• Perform a dance where energy systems can be used.

LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

A. The Immediate Energy System

This system refers to ATP-CP or Adenosine Triphosphate-Creatine Phosphate. It
is called the immediate energy system where it is the first system that can be use
when doing an activity. It does not require oxygen (anaerobic) and it does not produce
lactate (as with glycolysis). Instead, the system involves ATP and Creatine Phosphate
that are stored within the muscle fibers.

Athletes who compete in sports that require high amounts of short duration
acceleration—shot-putters, weightlifters, American football linemen, gymnasts, or
sprint-distance speed skaters use the anaerobic a-lactic system. The ALA system
does not create energy for sufficient duration to create a great deal of waste products.

B. The Glycolytic System (Anaerobic)

The Glycolysis is the pathway that splits carbohydrate (glucose or stored glycogen)
in order to generate ATP to power cellular work. This is the second in line to
contribute for energy production. This system works during short-duration,
highintensity exercises or dances. This is also called as the Anaerobic Lactic System.

The anaerobic lactic (AL) system (also known as fast glycolysis) provides energy
for medium to high intensity bursts of activity that lasts from ten seconds to two
minutes. Some American football skill positions, baseball players, soccer players,

3
judokas, middle distance runners (400m-800m) and sprinters rely on this system.
The anaerobic lactic system, as well as the ATP-CP system, are capable of high
intensity levels, and do not rely on oxygen for fuel.

C. The Oxidative System (Aerobic)

The aerobic system is the most utilized of the three. It provides energy
for low intensity activities that last anywhere from two minutes to a few
hours. Unlike the other two systems, the aerobic system requires oxygen and
takes much longer to overload. Sports and activities that use continuous
sustained efforts such as long-distance swimming, crew (rowing) and sea
kayaking rely on the aerobic system.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The energy system of our body works in different ways in which it generates fuel
and uses it as an energy to perform a certain task. We all know that in able for our
body to work, all we must do is to eat. The food that we eat gives as the energy to do
work and to accomplish something. These food serves as the fuel of our body. A
certain energy system of our body becomes predominant depending on the intensity,
duration, and type of exercises we perform.

Energy systems in our body includes the ATP-CP System, Glycolysis, and
Oxidative. In the previous grade level, these energy systems were discussed in the
concept of exercise and sports. In this module, you will learn how energy systems
functions in the concept of dance.

Energy Systems in the Body

The human body uses energy from food to fuel movement and essential body
functions, but the body cells don't get energy directly from food. After food is digested,
the carbohydrates, protein and fat break down into simple compounds -- glucose,
amino acids and fatty acids -- which are absorbed into the blood and transported to

4
various cells throughout the body. Within these cells, and from these energy sources,
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed to provide fuel. The body uses 3 different
systems to supply cells with the necessary ATP to fuel energy needs. Most of the
body's activities use a continuum of all three energy systems, working together to
ensure a constant supply of energy.

ATP-PC System
The body needs a continuous supply of ATP for energy -- whether the energy is
needed for lifting weights, walking, thinking or even texting. It's also the unit of
energy that fuels metabolism, or the biochemical reactions that support and
maintain life. For short and intense movement lasting less than 10 seconds, the body
mainly uses the ATP-PC, or creatine phosphate system. This system is anaerobic,
which means it does not use oxygen. The ATP-PC system utilizes the relatively small
amount of ATP already stored in the muscle for this immediate energy source. When
the body's supply of ATP is depleted, which occurs in a matter of seconds, additional
ATP is formed from the breakdown of phosphocreatine (PC) -- an energy compound
found in muscle.

Lactic Acid System

The lactic acid system, also called the anaerobic glycolysis system, produces
energy from muscle glycogen -- the storage form of glucose. Glycolysis, or the
breakdown of glycogen into glucose, can occur in the presence or absence of oxygen.
When inadequate oxygen is available, the series of reactions that transforms glucose
into ATP causes lactic acid to be produced -- in efforts to make more ATP. The lactic
acid system fuels relatively short periods -- a few minutes -- of high-intensity muscle
activity, but the accumulation of lactic acid can cause fatigue and a burning
sensation in the muscles.

Aerobic System
The most complex energy system is the aerobic or oxygen energy system, which
provides most of the body's ATP. This system produces ATP as energy is released
from the breakdown of nutrients such as glucose and fatty acids. In the presence of
oxygen, ATP can be formed through glycolysis. This system also involves the Krebs
or tricarboxylic acid cycle -- a series of chemical reactions that generate energy in
the mitochondria -- the power plant inside the body cells. The complexity of this
system, along with the fact that it relies heavily on the circulatory system to supply
oxygen, makes it slower to act compared to the ATP-PC or lactic acid systems. The
aerobic system supplies energy for body movement lasting more than just a few
minutes, such as long periods of work or endurance activities. This system is also
the pathway that provides ATP to fuel most of the body's energy needs not related to
physical activity, such as building and repairing body tissues, digesting food,
controlling body temperature and growing hair.

The Energy Used in Dancing by Cherrish Plummer
Production of Lactic Acid
• Lactic acid occurs when your body is working hard.
• When it is not working fast enough, lactate builds up in your muscles causes
your muscles to hurt.

Aerobic or Anaerobic
• The motion of dancing (Ballet) is aerobic
• This particular activity is aerobic because in most cases dancing is slow and
rhythmical.

Storage
• The body stores ATP in muscle in the form of Glycogen.
• This storage is for needed energy for doing activities

Energy System
• The oxidative system is the primary source of ATP during aerobic activities
• Oxidative energy primarily uses carbohydrates and fats as substrates for
energy.

Mitochondrial/Metabolic Rate
• Mitochondria are referred as the “powerhouse of the cell”
• They also contain a lot of the enzymes, associated with aerobic energy • the
aerobic oxidative system forms a big part of our bodies’ metabolic rate.
