Detailed explanation-1: -ATP-PC System This energy system is for immediate activity for activities of short duration (lasting 0-10 seconds), high intensity & explosive activities, such as the 100m sprint, therefore fast twitch muscle fibres are recruited.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ATP-PC System lasts for 6-10 seconds and is used during maximal power output exercises such as all-out effort sprints, jumps, 1RMs etc. It’s the simplest energy production process, as it enables a fast muscle contraction. There is also no acidic by-product, which usually causes fatigue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sprinting is a common example of an anaerobic exercise that might seem aerobic. Notice, though, that when you’re sprinting, breathing becomes very difficult.
