AS / A Level Sport and Physical Education Energy and ATP Regeneration
DEFINITIONS ENERGY is the ability to perform work and is often measured in Joules (J) but also calories (1 calorie = 4.18 J) WORK = force x distance moved measured in joules J POWER is the rate at which energy is used the energy used per second unit is Watts (W) ENERGY
WORK = force x distance moved How much work would you perform if you had to push a rugby scrummaging machine weighing 7200N back 3 metres 7200N X 3 = 21, 6 00 Nm or 21, 600 J
Power Power = Work / Time or force x distance / time Power is considered to be a combination of strength and speed. Its the rate at which work is done First XV Second XV 21, 600/4 21, 600/6 = 5,400 W = 3,600 W
Energy can exist in different forms CHEMICAL ENERGY • Is energy that is produced by a complex series of chemical reactions • It is stored as compounds in our bodies for example ATP, Carbohydrates and fats. • which can then be made available as : KINETIC ENERGY • is energy due to movement • which results from muscular contractions – running, lifting, hitting POTENTIAL ENERGY • is stored energy due to gravity waiting to be released, ATP does nothing until phosphate is released with the help of ATPase
EXAMPLES FROM SPORT OF ENERGY FORMS Chemical – food is broken down by several chemical reactions into Energy in the form of protein, fat and carbohydrate Kinetic – when i am on the cross-trainer my movement creates this Form of energy Potential – I am waiting to throw the javelin, my muscles are not Moving I am still. The energy is stored waiting to be used
ENERGY CONCEPTS • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS • measurement of energy expenditure • DIRECT METHOD • involves burning of food • and measuring heat energy produced • INDIRECT METHOD • involves measurement of oxygen consumed or oxygen uptake during exercise APPLICATIONS • warming-up • the construction of training programmes • prevention of fatigue • delay of fatigue • recovery from fatigue • nutrition • performance • bodyweight control • body temperature maintenance • RATES OF ENERGY EXPENDITURE (per kg of body mass) • above basal requirements - kJ kg-1 min-1 • sitting at rest 0.14 • walking 0.2 • jogging / swimming (moderate) 0.6 • cycling (moderate) 0.46 • vigorous exercise 0.8
