Lesson One:
The ATP Cycle
In our first lesson, we will delve into the ATP cycle and explore the significance of replenishing ATP for optimal athletic performance. Muscle contractions rely on the presence of ATP, as it serves as the fuel for these movements. ATP synthesis occurs through one of the three energy systems. How we train plays a pivotal role in determining the process of ATP replenishment.
Understanding the ATP cycle provides a foundational understanding of the interconnected chain of events occurring within the body. Below is video one in our cycling physiology series - The ATP Cycle.
