Anaerobic Glycolysis would be dominant in all of the situations above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The preferred energy fuel for the muscles is glucose. Glucose is formed from the breakdown of carbohydrates in your diet and is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. However, there is a limit in the amount of glycogen the body can store, which is why marathon runners have to take on fuel during a race.
Detailed explanation-2: -The long term system produces energy through aerobic (with oxygen) pathways. This system is dominant at lower intensities and efforts lasting longer than 2 to 3 minutes.
