Glycolysis and Energy
Glucose is a simple sugar. It is what your body uses for fuel. Your intestines break down the food you eat into protein and glucose. In the process of glycolysis, cells use glucose to generate energy. This process partially breaks down glucose, ultimately resulting in pyruvate in aerobic settings (when oxygen is present) and lactate in anaerobic settings (when oxygen is not present). Glycolysis and phosphagen work together to produce energy in anaerobic settings. This energy is used to help overcome external forces such as gravity, weight, and friction.
When a person begins an intense athletic task such as running a race, the phosphagen system acts as the main producer of the energy-providing chemical ATP. But after a while, the amount of work the phosphagen system does begins to lessen and the glycolytic system becomes the main producer of ATP. A talented runner will learn how to pace himself or herself by using these energy systems efficiently.
