An elite rower completes a 2000 m race in 7 minutes. Which energy system sequence best represents their event?

  1. ATP-PCr → Aerobic → Glycolytic
  2. Glycolytic → ATP-PCr → Aerobic
  3. ATP-PCr → Glycolytic → Aerobic
  4. Aerobic → Glycolytic → ATP-PCr

Show Worked Solution

Consider Option C: ATP-PCr → Glycolytic → Aerobic

  • Shows the natural progression of energy systems as intensity/duration increases

Other Options: 

  • A is incorrect: Glycolytic precedes Aerobic system
  • B is incorrect: ATP-PCr is always first system used
  • D is incorrect: Sequence is reversed from actual energy system use
