suggest and explain why a sprinter can use anaerobic respiration during the race while a marathon runner needs to use awrobic respiration
Answers
Answer:
Sprinters Respiration
It is important what a runner eats before, and after their race.
Before a marathon runner runs, he consumes something like a protein shake and a good mix of carbohydrates to keep him going throughout the race. After the race, a runner will likely have some sort of protein shake to help muscle recovery since they ran for so long. A sprinter will eat large amounts of carbs before their sprint with a smaller mix of protein. It's necessary for a sprinter to have the fuel to sprint his distance.
Aerobic respiration is using oxygen to create energy. Marathon runners use aerobic respiration because it produces more energy if they were to use anaerobic respiration they would be tired out before they can finish the race. This is why it is important for marathon runners to breathe while their running
These different athletes train different muscle fibers.
Sprinters train fast twitch fibers while marathon runners train their slow twitch fibers.
