An elite 3000m runner would predominantly use which energy system during a race?
|
|
ATP-PC Energy System
|
|
|
Anaerobic Glycolysis Energy System
|
|
|
Aerobic Energy System

|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Creatine Phosphate (ATP-PC) Energy System. For short and intense movement lasting less than 10 seconds, the body mainly uses ATP-PC. Your body needs a continuous supply of ATP for energy, whether it’s needed for lifting weights, walking, thinking or running.
Detailed explanation-2: -For a 400 m race, the most predominant energy system used by elite athletes is anaerobic glycolysis. This energy system can last from 30 to 40 s when trained, almost long enough to complete the entire race which takes the very best athletes between 44 to 50 s to complete.
