Importance of Aerobic Energy System Efficiency

Improving aerobic energy system efficiency is important because the aerobic energy system contributes ~30% of the energy needed during tennis. The aerobic energy system can contribute to enhanced performance during a tennis match or training even though tennis is anaerobic energy system dominant. Yet steady-state jogging is an ineffective training method in optimizing aerobic energy…

Aerobic ATP Production and Energy System Efficiency

Aerobic ATP production is important for on-court tennis performance and hence understanding how the body converts foods into energy aerobically makes sense if you want to perform well. Did you know that the aerobic energy system only converts approximately 34% of the potential energy from foods into biologically usable energy? Following I will explain how…
