Question

Compare the oxygen consumption of a sprinter and a marathon runner

Answer 1

Answer:

A sprinter consumes more oxygen than a marathon runner.

Explanation:

A sprinter requires big amounts of air in a short time to not get tired as fast and run faster. A marathon runner has more controlled and paced breathing so he does not get tired but can run long distances. Marathon runners also run slower than sprinters.

Answer 2

Answer:

Some major differences

As you burn more calories in a longer distance event, the marathon runners will need higher levels of carbohydrate than sprinters. ... Marathon runners will also use stores of body fat more to fuel their longer distances, although this can't be used without carbohydrate.
