Energy Systems in Netball

What is the primary energy system that dominates a netball match?

• Anaerobic Glycolysis

• ATP-PC system

• Aerobic system

• Lactic acid system

Why is netball considered an aerobically dominant sport over the course of a full match?

• Players primarily engage in low-intensity, continuous movement.

• Anaerobic systems cannot sustain activity for the entire duration of a quarter or match.

• The sport requires minimal energy expenditure.

• Only aerobic energy systems are utilized during play.

Why can't an athlete maintain an anaerobically dominant state for an extended period, such as 15 minutes?

• The body would run out of oxygen too quickly.

• There would be too much accumulation of fat stores.

• The fatigue from byproduct accumulation would be too great.

• The heart rate would drop too low to sustain activity.

In the provided energy system graph, what does the blue area represent?

• Anaerobic Glycolysis contribution

• ATP-PC system contribution

• Aerobic contribution

• Resting metabolic rate

Which energy system is primarily responsible for the short, explosive movements of a netball goal shooter, such as a quick lead or jump?

• Aerobic system

• Anaerobic Glycolysis system

• ATP-PC system

• Beta-oxidation system

What is the main benefit of passive recovery periods for a netball goal shooter during a game?

• It allows for the accumulation of lactic acid.

• It primarily replenishes glycogen stores.

• It enables the replenishment of phosphocreatine (PC) stores.

• It increases the reliance on anaerobic glycolysis.

If a netball goal shooter experiences multiple high-intensity efforts with very short passive recovery periods, which energy system is likely to increase its contribution?

• Aerobic system

• ATP-PC system

• Anaerobic Glycolysis system

• Fat oxidation system

How does the aerobic contribution to each effort change for a netball goal shooter later in a quarter compared to earlier?

• It decreases due to fatigue.

• It remains constant throughout the quarter.

• It increases due to elevated EPOC.

• It is replaced entirely by anaerobic systems.

Which energy system primarily provides energy for short, explosive efforts?

• Aerobic system

• Anaerobic glycolysis system

• ATP-PC system

• Lactic acid system

What happens to energy system contribution during short bursts of high intensity, such as sprinting, without sufficient passive recovery?

• Aerobic contribution increases significantly

• ATP-PC stores are rapidly replenished

• Anaerobic glycolysis contribution increases

• Fat oxidation becomes the primary energy source
