energy system. It is my intention to provide the
coach with a workout training system based on accurate scientific knowledge as it relates
to the energy systems.

Adenosine Triphosphate, or simply, ATP, is the immediate usable form of chemical energy
for muscular activity. This is one of the most important of the "energy rich"
compounds which is stored in all cells, particularly muscle cells. All forms of chemical
energy available from the food we eat must eventually be transferred into ATP form before
they can be utilized by the muscle cell. The amount of ATP in the muscle cell is limited
and could be depleted in 1-2 seconds unless recharged to maintain muscular activity, thus,
immediate synthesis of ATP is necessary. ATP supplies must be kept at peak concentration
and must never fall below 60% of its resting levels for muscular activity to continue. The
three systems of metabolic pathways available to replace ATP concentrations are: 1)
Anaerobic Phosphagen (ATP-PC) Energy System, 2) Anaerobic Lactate (Gly
