Energy is the ability to do work and cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or changed forms. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the body's energy currency and is produced in cells to power activities through breaking phosphate bonds which release energy. The three energy systems are: 1) ATP-PCr system which uses creatine phosphate for immediate energy over 3-15 seconds, 2) Glycolytic system which uses glycogen for short term higher intensity energy over minutes, and 3) Oxidative system which requires oxygen for long term lower intensity energy by breaking down glucose and fatty acids through several cycles.
