That's right and that's exactly what I said in my post....however, the percentage or the amount of energy that each of the three energy systems contributes towards the activity all depends on the intensity and duration of the activity...For example, a 10 second max effort sprint is almost entirely dependent on ATP.... about 85% ATP, 10% anaerobic glycolysis, and only 5% aerobic.
