The body has three systems that produce energy. Each system has a different function and uses a different fuel as an energy source. When training for weight loss it is important to understand when and how each system works and how to use it to your advantage. The Alactic system comes into play when energy is needed in a hurry such as a quick sprint or a heavy lift. The Alactic system uses the fuel Creatine Phosphate which is stored in the muscles ready for such an occasion. It can only provide enough energy for 5 to 10 seconds of quick work.
The lactic system is used when a maximal effort is needed for around 10 to 90 seconds in duration, such as a 400 metre sprint. It is categorized by the burning feeling left in the muscle after a quick sprint. The burning feeling is a build up of lactic acid that will cause the muscle to fatigue. The lactic acid system uses carbohydrate in the form of glucose and glycogen as a fuel source. The aerobic energy system will come into play after 2 to 3 minutes and can last for up to 2 - 3 hours. It is slow to kick in but will produce a large amount of energy in the presence of oxygen. This system uses fat and glycogen as a fuel source and is the system we want to use when training for weight loss.
