During a 3 minute boxing round identify which energy systems

During a 3- minute boxing round, identify which energy system(s) is being used at the times listed below. (phosphagen, Anaerobic, Aerobic).

A)

___________ First punch thrown within 3 seconds of starting the round

___________ A continuous flurry of jabs and fast moves lasting about 45 seconds after 1.5 minutes into the round

___________ Right at the end of 3 minutes while moving around the ring

____________ During the 1-minute rest between rounds

B) For each energy system listed above, list which macronutrient(s) is being utilized.

_____________

_____________

______________

______________

Solution

Answer) As we know that Phosphagen provides instant energy in a sudden muscular activity which lasts only about 8-10sec. after which, anaerobic glycolysis provides energy up to 1.5 to 2minutes. later, aerobic respiration provides energy which requires slow movements or actions with deep breaths.

B) Macronutrient utilization in each enrgy system.

Phosphagen; Creatine phosphate which has ATP storage.

Anaerobic; Glucose in blood

Aerobic; Glycogen from liver and Fat.
