What Energy system is used during a 400m sprint?

Answer 1

ATP-PC system Adenosine triphosphate.- phosphocreatine

phosphocreatine is broken down into phosphate and creatine molecules. as with any bonds that are broken energy is released. The phosphate molecule bonds to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) which produced an ATP molecule. This ATP molecule is used within cells to make energy.

Answer 2

The 400m is considered a sprint event, and most of the recommended training for this event concentrates on anaerobic work, power development and technique. It is very rare for 400m runners to include steady running or even vVO2Max sessions. The proportion of anaerobic to aerobic requirements for this event are typically given as about 75%:25%.

Answer 3

The ATP system is used for the first part of the race then it is replaced by the anaerobic system.

Answer 4

The initial system the body uses is the ATP-PCr system, this is active for around 15 seconds, the body then taps into it's Anaerobic Glycolysis.

Answer 5

Anaerobic

Answer 6

Anerobic
