Question 6

2 marks

Which energy system is primarily responsible for providing ATP during a high-intensity 100-meter sprint lasting approximately 10 seconds?

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 7

5 marks

Question 8

2 marks

During high-intensity exercise, the body relies on different energy pathways to resynthesize ATP.
(a) Identify the primary fuel source used in the Lactic Acid System (anaerobic glycolysis).
(b) Name the by-product of this system that is associated with a decrease in muscle pH and subsequent muscular fatigue.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 9

7 marks

Analyze the energy continuum for an athlete competing in a 400m sprint lasting approximately 50 seconds. (a) Using the provided graph of energy system contributions, explain why the Lactic Acid system becomes the dominant energy provider after the first 10 seconds. (b) Discuss the physiological components of the alactic phase of recovery during EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption).

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.
