Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A Centre player for Netball spends 34% of the time working at maximal effort and 66% of the time resting (work to rest ration is 1:2). The Dominant Energy System during work time for the Centre Player is
A
The ATP-PC System
B
The Anaerobic Glycolysis System
C
The Aerobic Energy System
D
Both the ATP-PC System and the Anaerobic Glycolysis System
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Anaerobic Glycolysis or lactic acid system would be predominantly used in netball when a centre works at a high intensity for duration of up to 40 seconds. This could occur if a team fails to score, resulting in a prolonged period of play.

Detailed explanation-2: -A work to rest ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 means the aerobic energy system is dominant, a work to rest of 1:3 or 1:4 means the anaerobic glycolysis system is dominant and a work to rest of 1:6+ indicates that the ATP-CP energy system is dominant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Work Time: 15-30 seconds. Work to Rest Ratio: 1:3 to 1:5. Intensity: 8-9 (as fast as possible without feeling like your muscles are on fire).
