Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What would the main energy system used be for a 800m sprinter?
A
Lactic Acid (Anaorebic Glycolysis)
B
Aerobic System
C
ATP-PC System
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Its estimated that during sprint events approximately 95% of energy production comes via the anaerobic system (85% phosphate, 10% anaerobic glycolysis), and only 5% from aerobic oxygen. Thus, the 100m sprint is an anaerobic event relying heavily on energy supply from the ATP-PC system!

Detailed explanation-2: -The anaerobic energy system (also called the lactic acid system) is the body’s way of creating energy in the form of ATP quickly. Primarily using glucose as fuel, this energy system powers the muscles anywhere from ten to thirty seconds for intense efforts.
