High fat foods
Low GI carbohydrates
A steak.
High GI carbohydrates
Why are the athletes able to jump almost as far (if not as far or further) on the Thord attempt in jumping events as they can on their first?
They have completed active recovery between jumps
They have completed passive recovery between jumps.
They have eaten high GI carbohydrates between jumps

The average running speed of the 1500m is much slower than that of the 100m. Why is this the case?
Aerobic system has a higher rate of ATP production than the ATP-CP system.
Aerobic system has a higher lower ATP yield than the ATP-CP system
ATP-CP system has a higher rate of ATP production than the Aerobic system.
Anaerobic glycolysis has the highest ATP yield.
