The anaerobic glycolysis system has a finite capacity, and the aerobic system will increase its contribution throughout the quarter and it will be the most relied on system because of the seven-minute duration and its high yield.

Because the event lasted approximately eight hours, the energy system contributing most of the ATP required throughout the event would be the aerobic energy system where both carbohydrates and fats would be used to fuel the system.

Because the duration of the event is long, fats may become the most relied upon fuel source (especially if glycogen stores were not replenished).

Using fats requires greater oxidation and the rate of ATP production is decreased, therefore the athlete’s intensity would drop, causing a decrease in running speed/performance.

All 3 energy systems will contribute to the resynthesis of ATP during these gymnastic actions. Due to the very high intensity of these actions listed as powerful and explosive, we know there will be some sort of ATP-CP domination at the start of the event. This won’t last for long however as the duration of the exercise is 90 seconds with only a few seconds of rest in between actions. This meaning due to the intense repeats that will go for 90 seconds, the anaerobic glycolysis system will hold dominance for majority of this performance. In turn, this gives us the second-best rate of resynthesis and allows us to do this for the whole 90 seconds. The aerobic glycolysis system will not hold dominance for the event, except for thee rests. However, the aerobic glycolysis system will still contribute throughout the 90 seconds just not being the dominant energy system. Overall, all 3 energy systems contribute to the resynthesis of ATP in gymnastic routines.
