Document Summary

Atp-pc system is its own system and makes atp by itself and quickly; anaerobic; occurs within cell! Do not need to know which ones are oxidizers and reducers; not really emphasized! Taper is a period of time you reduce training volume to allow for maximal physiologically recovery; you want to make sure the body can recover to perform their best! There are different approaches; an important one is where you maintain intensity but you run a shorter distance. Cuts 2 carbons of ffa at a time in beta oxidation. Not necessarily intermediates, know why you would want to know what these systems do! Mct-1 is a lactate transporter; just know there is a way to get lactate out the cell! Amino acids can be used and can enter in different points in the system to create energy. You can use protein but it is not a preference, it is a last resort.
