\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Long jump requires explosive power from ATP-PCr system enhanced by creatine.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Ultra-marathon relies on aerobic system, not creatine phosphate stores.
  • C is incorrect: 100m sprint duration exceeds optimal creatine supplementation benefits.
  • D is incorrect: 2km swim uses aerobic system predominantly, not phosphocreatine stores.
