Name and describe the essential characteristics of the three energy systems (remember to include the enzymes.
Marathon runners often practice "carb loading" prior to a race. The purpose of this practice is to increase the stores of energy available for muscles to use. Explain how energy is used by muscle fibers and how this practice of "card loading" benefits the runner's muscles. Be sure to use the terms glucose, glycogen, creatine, phosphate, and ATP in the explanation.
Discuss briefly (in less than 100 words) the practice of carbohydrate loading for endurance in aerobic exercise. What is the role of glycogen metabolism (glycogenesis and glycogenolysis) and glycolysis in carbohydrate loading? Why is this practice more productive than usual without carbohydrate loading?
