Question 35 • SVLC LIFETIME FITNESS A (15500)

During which type of athletic activity would an athlete primarily rely on the glycolytic energy system for their performance?

Answer
A
yoga
B
800-meter sprint
C
long-distance cycling
D
one-repetition maximum power-lifting

Explanation

The glycolytic energy system supplies energy mainly during high-intensity efforts lasting from several seconds to a few minutes. An 800-meter sprint is intense and typically lasts long enough for glycolysis to provide a major share of the energy. Yoga and long-distance cycling rely more on other energy demands, while a one-repetition maximum lift relies primarily on the immediate ATP-PC system.
