Document Summary

For the start they have to overcome momentum; lot of mass that they have to overcome. Stroke rate: with wind more stroke, against wind, less strokes. Lots of anaerobic training but since the race is long, there is a lot of aerobic training as well. The primary factors affecting energy productions are total energy demand coupled with rate of demand. The atp-pcr system is used for the first few seconds (up to around 10 seconds). Then the anaerobic glycolytic system is activated which lasts for around few minutes and then lastly the aerobic system is activated for the longer duration period. The second graph represents the power of these energy systems. Oxygen we breathe gets used at the end of the electron transport chain; by measuring oxygen uptake at the mouth, it will tell us what is happening at the end of the electron transport chain. We are relating the oxygen that we use to energy.
