Question

Give an example of a sport that uses mostly the aerobic energy pathway. Discuss why this pathway is the one the body uses for the sport. Make sure to identify the typical percent of maximum heart rate, type of "fuel" the body cells are burning, and describe the intensity of the sport

Answer 1

Sprinting is an example of aerobic activity. Aerobic activity is defined as literally without oxygen. During aerobic respiration, the body uses only 2 ATP as opposed to 36 through normal respiration. The heart rate must be 70-85% of your normal. The body primary source of fuel is glycogen, blood sugar that comes from previously digested food. The intensity must be high
