Energy Systems


There are three metabolic pathways that provide the energy for all human action. These “metabolic engines” are known as the phosphagen
pathway, the glycolytic pathway, and the oxidative pathway.

The first, the phosphagen, dominates the highest-powered activities,
those that last less than about ten seconds. The second pathway, the
glycolytic, dominates moderate-powered activities, those that last
up to several minutes. The third pathway, the oxidative, dominates
low-powered activities, those that last in excess of several minutes.

Favoring one or two to the exclusion of the others and not recognizing
the impact of excessive training in the oxidative pathway are arguably
the two most common faults in fitness training.
