Question

Which of the following is an advantage of the lactic acid system?

Answer 1

Answer: You should list the answer choices, however if you cannot, I will list all of the advantages of the lactic acid system:

• Provides more sustained high-intensity energy for between 10 and 180 seconds.
• Can work both anaerobically (without oxygen) and aerobically (with oxygen).
• There is a huge amount of glycogen stored in the muscles and liver which can be made available for energy.
• Fewer reactions than the aerobic energy system are needed to produce energy so it is faster (but not as fast as the PC system).
• It is more efficient than the ATP-PC system as the lactic acid system resynthesises two molecules of ATP as opposed to just one that the ATP-PC manages.
