Energy Systems & Sports Physiology

Energy is required for all kinds of bodily processes including growth and development, repair, the transport of various substances between cells and of course, muscle contraction. Several energy sources or substrates are available which can be used to power the production of ATP. One of these substrates, like existing ATP, is stored inside the cell and is called creatine phosphate.

This conference focus on understanding energy systems underpins the study of exercise and the effect it has on the human body.
