Document Summary

After creatine phosphate, carbohydrates are the next source of energy to produce atp. Glucose is the primary carbohydrate used to generate atp. Anaerobic (without oxygen) breakdown of glucose yields two atp molecules. Aerobic (with oxygen) breakdown of glucose yields 36 38 molecules of atp. Stored triglycerides (fats) can be metabolized to generate atp. A very abundant energy source, even in lean people. Provides more than two times the energy per gram as carbohydrate. Carbohydrates and fats can both be used as energy sources for the production of atp. Proteins (amino acids) are not a major fuel source for exercise. Depend on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity. Athletes should consume carbohydrate within the amdr of 45 65% of total energy intake. Athletes should consume a daily carbohydrate intake of 6 10 grams per kg body weight to optimize glycogen stores. Good sources are fiber-rich, less processed foods such as whole grains, cereals, vegetables, and juices.
