Marathon-Aerobic

Monaco Marathon

Where and why is it used?

Aerobic energy is used for most of the race because you need to need to go at a steady pace which requires you to have a lot of energy to last a long time.

What other energy requirements are used?

They may also use Anaerobic (Lactic acid)  if they are running up a hill because they will need to use there leg power to push themselves up the hill. They may also use Anaerobic (Lactic acid) when they run down a hill because they would pick up speed. In the race if someone was trying to catch you up and try and overtake you, you may go faster(Atp-pc) so you can stay a head and if you are trying to catch someone up. They also would use atp-pc for the last hundred meters to get across the finish line as fast as possible.

What other energy requirements are there?

You would need a lot of oxygen and glucose for this type of running. You will need to eat a lot of carbohydrates a couple of nights before so you have enough energy for the race. Also after training you will need to eat a lot of food with protein in so you can train the next day. You will also maybe need to have some creatine tablets so you have enough creatine in your body so that you can sprint when you need to.

Aerobic

Where and why is it used?

It is used through most of the race because you need a lot of energy to complete it at a steady pace.

What other energy requirements are used ?

They also would use anaerobic (Lactic acid)  for when they are running up hills because they would need to go faster to push themselves up the hill so they don't get overtaken. They would also pick up speed when they go down the hill because you want to pick back up speed. They would also use (Atp-pt) when they change over from swimming to biking to running. They need to get to the over equipment or start as best as you can. They would also use (Atp-pt) when they are at the last 100m so they can go as fast as possible across the line.

What other energy requirements are there?

They would need a lot of carbohydrates a few days before the race so they have the energy to run, swim and cycle the race.  They would also need a lot of oxygen and glucose for this types of race. After training you would need protein so you can train the next day. you may also need creatine tablets so your body has enough creatine so that you can sprint when you need to.

Anaerobic

100meter sprint


Where and why it is used

It is used through out the whole race. It is the Atp-pt system. You need this system because you don't need oxygen through the race and your trying to complete the race as quickly as possible.


What other energy requirements are used?

You will use atp-pt through out the race because you want to run as fast as you can as quickly as possible. You will use anaerobic because you don't need oxygen because by the time the oxygen has got to your muscles the race will be over, that's why they use anaerobic because it is stored there. You will use atp-pt because it can only be for about 15 seconds and a professional sprinter will only need it on average for about 11 seconds.

What other energy requirements are there.

You would need alot of sugary food before the race so that you can get a sugar rush of energy before the start of the race. You would also need a substantial about of carbohydrates leading up to the race so you have the enough energy to complete the race, but you should eat certain hours before so you don't get a stitch.

High jump





Where and why it is used?

You would use anaerobic (atp-pt) for that burst of power when jumping over the bar.

What other energy requirements are used?
You will use atp-pt to burst up and over the bar, using you power in your legs and you would also need flexibility to get over the bar and not hit it.

What other energy requirements are there?

You could eat a lot of sugar before hand so you could get a sugar rush to help with the power. You would also need to stretch a lot before hand so you are flexible enough to be able to bend
