Aerobic ATP production predominantly produces 38 ATP. The aerobic energy system utilises fats, carbohydrate and sometimes proteins for re-synthesising ATP for energy use.
The aerobic system produces far more ATP than either of the other energy systems but it produces the ATP much more slowly, therefore it cannot fuel intense exercise that demands the fast production of ATP. The aerobic system consists of three processes or ‘stages’ each of which produce ATP.
These stages involve more complex chemical reactions than the other energy systems which is why ATP production is much slower. (The more complex the process - the longer it takes to produce ATP)
The three stages which will be discussed in greater detail are:
1. Aerobic glycolysis (slow glycolysis)
2. Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle)
3. Electron transport chain
