The alactacid phase, also known as the immediate or ATP-PC system, occurs during high-intensity exercise lasting around 10 seconds, such as sprinting or heavy lifting. During this phase, the body primarily uses stored adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and phosphocreatine (PC) in the muscles for energy, without the need for oxygen. This anaerobic process allows for rapid energy production, but it depletes quickly as the phosphocreatine stores are limited. Recovery from this phase typically involves the replenishment of ATP and PC stores, which can take several minutes.
