In the interview below Tudor Bomba mentions that there are three different energy systems and that alactic-acid is one of them. What are the other systems? Also are there any online articles where you can read more?

I'll list the three systems below and give a VERY brief and basic explanation of each. You could literally read an entire book on just these three body systems.
The three systems are:
ATP-PCr...Adenosine TriPhosphate-PhosphoCreatine system. This is used for short term explosive activity that lasts for between three and 15 seconds.
Glycolitic system...This is the breakdown of blood sugars from (usually) carbohydrates into glucose. The glucose circulates in the blood supplies energy for activities that last for up to three minutes.
Oxidatixe phosphorylation...this is the use of enzymes to break apart fat molecules to be used for prolonged aerobic (oxygen utilizing) activities.
The times given are of course approximate and vary from person to person and with the intensity of the activity. Also, the systems do overlap. It's not like you use one system singly, and then instantly switch to the next system.

Crazy.
Crazy???
I'm amazed by the system. Thanks for the great information, as always.
Just to add to JR's exposition, the 3 energy systems are often classified as:
anaerobic alactic
anaerobic lactic
aerobic
I am not quite sure to which Bompa was referring.
Thanks for the info!
Refer to muscular energetics for a deeper look at the energy systems.
keep in mind the chart that displays energy contribution is a generalized statement.
thank you
