It is the quickest method your body can use to produce ATP (the energy molecule used by all our cells). The phosphagen system only lasts 10-15 seconds before it is depleted however so aerobic and anaerobic metabolism must take over. An all out spring for a few yards relies heavily on the phosphagen system. A 400 meter sprint on the other hand uses mainly aerobic metabolism after the first few seconds. A 1600 meter run in turn relies heavily on aerobic metabolism (us of oxygen).
I have a B.S. in Exercise Science from Ball State University so its a good answer ;)

What is the fuel source of atp-cp system or phosphagen system?
fat and carbs
What energy system does 200m freestyle use?
It depends on how long it takes you to complete the 200. The phosphagen system, which is an anaerobic system, is used to start any exercise. Then glycolysis takes over for the next few minutes. Glycolsis can be fast (anaerobic) or slow (aerobic). Swimming at a low intensity for a longer period of time will eventually convert to the oxidative system, an aerobic system.
What is Used to create ATP rapidly?
The phosphagen system is used for rapid creation of ATP. It is used when the body suddenly needs a burst of energy that can not be provided by the glycolytic system.

How does exercise affect your immune system?
Exercise stresses your immune system. Too little exercise has very little effect on your immune system, whereas too much exercise can debilitate your immune system. Therefore, like medication, the proper dose of exercise is required; if it is neither too little nor too strenuous, regular exercise can boost your immune system. .
What exercises affect skeletal system?
All exercise effects the skeletal system. Your bones move when you exercise.
The purpose of the phosphagen system is to?
To give your body an imediate, explosive supply of energy. it is stored in your muscles as creatine phosphate, that converts to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is a chemical that provides energy for all bodily prossesses. depletion of creatine phosphate causes fatigue.
Describe a long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system?
Regular exercise can make the bones in the skeletal system stronger.
What happens to your body when you play sports?
So imagine that you start running. Here's what happens: * The muscle cells burn off the ATP they have floating around in about 3 seconds. * The phosphagen system kicks in and supplies energy for 8 to 10 seconds. This would be the major energy system used by the muscles of a 100-meter sprinter or weight lifter, where rapid acceleration, short-duration exercise occurs. * If exercise continues longer, then the glycogen-lactic acid system kicks in. This would be true for short-distance exercises such as a 200- or 400-meter dash or 100-meter swim. * Finally, if exercise continues, then aerobic respiration takes over. This would occur in endurance events such as an 800-meter dash, marathon run, rowing, cross-country skiing and distance skating.
How long can anaerobic respiration sustain maximum muscle activity?
Skeletal muscle fibers can get ATP from 3 sources: -Phosphagen system (a few seconds) -Anaerobic fermentation (less than 2 minutes) -Aerobic respiration (indefinite)
What is the organ that enables heart beat faster when you exercise?
The nervous system causes the heart to beat faster when you exercise. It itself is not an organ but a system.
How do diet and exercise affect the skeletal system?
diet and exercise affect the skeletal system by making your bones stronger and making you more supple.
