Exercise 6

As the duration of a maximal effort increases from 10 seconds or less to between 10 and 180 seconds, what factor becomes limiting in terms of energy production?

Step 1 of 2

Short term performance like high jump, long jump, and shot put involves type II muscle fibers which deliver tremendous amount of energy.other factors that limit the performance during this type of events include skill and technique which depend on practice. The short-term performance generally depends on anaerobic sources of energy like glycolysis and ATP-PC (adenosine triphosphate – Phosphocreatine system).
