<<Energy System recruitment

Although all energy systems basically turn on at the same time the

recruitment of an alternative system occurs when the current energy

system is almost depleted.

The following table provides an approximation of the percentage

contribution of the energy pathways in certain sports. (Fox et al

1993)

Sport ATP-PC and LA LA-O2 O2(aerobic)

Basketball 60 20 20

Fencing 90 10

Field events 90 10

Golf swing 95 5

Gymnastics 80 15 5

Hockey 50 20 30

Distance running 10 20 70

Rowing 20 30 50

Skiing 33 33 33

Soccer 50 20 30

Sprints 90 10

Swimming 1.5km 10 20 70

Tennis 70 20 10

Volleyball 80 5 15

Terry,

In my opinion , the reference which Charlie provided was a general chart of

the % of energy systems present in soccer. However, one can be more specific of

the % of energy systems in soccer if it's related to a player position

available in the sport.
