AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
it takes 26 seconds for oxygen to be usable in respiration after you have breathed it in.So in 100m sprint, athletes are respiring entirely anaerobically.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the 100m sprint is an anaerobic event relying heavily on energy supply from the ATP-PC system!

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration happens in muscles during hard exercise. Glucose is not completely broken down, so less energy is released than during aerobic respiration. There is a build-up of lactic acid in the muscles during vigorous exercise. The lactic acid needs to be oxidised to carbon dioxide and water later.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is the hallmark of explosive athletes such as sprinters, football players and wrestlers. When you need immediate energy for a short burst, anaerobic respiration provides it without delay. Anaerobic running pushes your heart rate above 80 percent of its maximum, which can be stressful on the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -In order to do this, Usain Bolt’s muscles need to respire super quick. He needs all that energy to sprint so fast. But his body can’t keep up with these demands-it can’t respire fast enough. This is where anaerobic respiration steps in.
