Conditioning
Energy Systems
Also written: energy system
The three ways your body makes energy, depending on how hard and how long you work.
- Phosphagen: all-out efforts up to about 10 seconds (a sprint, a max lift).
- : hard efforts from about 10 seconds to 2 minutes.
- : anything longer, using oxygen.
All three are always running; the decides which one leads. Good conditioning trains the systems your sport actually uses.
