- A large amount of energy is required for sprinting, and it must be produced in a short amount of time.
- During sprinting, muscles are unable to receive a supply of oxygen quickly enough. They must then rely on anaerobic based systems that are able to rapidly produce ATP.
- A high concentration of glucose, followed by the process of glycolysis, results in a much faster production of ATP than the TCA cycle or Oxidative Phosphorylation could provide.
