Learning Objectives

1. Describe the characteristics of the creatine phosphate, anaerobic glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation energy systems.

2. Evaluate creatine supplements based on legality, ethics, safety, and effectiveness 

3. Compare and contrast the three energy systems and give examples of physical activities, exercise, or sports in which each is the predominant energy system.

4. Outline the process of carbohydrate, fat, and protein (amino acid) oxidation.

5. Explain the response of oxygen consumption to steady-state, sub-maximal exercise

6. Explain the concept of maximal oxygen consumption and become familiar with relative values of VO₂ max.
