Energy System Contributions
ABSTRACT
This narrative review focuses on the studies that estimate the energy systems’ contributions during match simulations of striking (boxing, karate, and taekwondo), grappling (judo), and weapon-based (fencing) Olympic combat sports. The purpose is to provide insights into the metabolism of these athletes. In striking Olympic combat sports, the oxidative contribution varied from 62% (in karate and taekwondo) to 86% (in boxing), the ATP-PCr system contribution varied from 10% (in boxing) to 31% (in taekwondo), and the glycolytic contribution was between 3% (in the third round of taekwondo) and 21% (in karate). In grappling combat sports, only judo was studied, and for a 4 min match, the oxidative contribution was 79%, followed by 14% ATP-PCr system contribution and 7% contribution from the glycolytic system. In fencing, the only weapon-based Olympic combat sport, the oxidative contribution varied from 81% (in the first bout) to 90% (in the second bout), followed by 9% (bout 2) to 12% (bout 1) contribution from the ATP-PCr system, and 0.6% to 7% contribution from the glycolytic system during 3 × 3 min bouts of épée match simulation. Hence, Olympic combat sports are primarily powered by the oxidative system, but the key scoring actions are likely fueled by anaerobic pathways.

Terrific work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the net. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)
Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a very well written article. I抣l be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I will definitely return.
I have realized that of all sorts of insurance, health insurance coverage is the most controversial because of the clash between the insurance cover company’s duty to remain making money and the user’s need to have insurance cover. Insurance companies’ income on well being plans are certainly low, hence some companies struggle to gain profits. Thanks for the suggestions you discuss through this blog.
Thanks for any other wonderful article. Where else may just anybody get that type of information in such an ideal approach of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m on the search for such information.
One thing I would like to say is always that car insurance cancellation is a terrifying experience so if you’re doing the appropriate things as a driver you’ll not get one. A number of people do get the notice that they are officially dropped by their insurance company they have to scramble to get added insurance following a cancellation. Cheap auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get after having a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance cancellation can help people prevent sacrificing one of the most critical privileges readily available. Thanks for the tips shared by your blog.
Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your website in internet explorer, would check this?IE still is the market leader and a good portion of people will miss your excellent writing because of this problem.
Good article. It is quite unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, plus the first ever real global tough economy. Through everything the industry has proven to be sturdy, resilient as well as dynamic, finding new tips on how to deal with trouble. There are usually fresh complications and chance to which the business must yet again adapt and act in response.
