Answer:

A sprinter consumes more oxygen than a marathon runner.

Step-by-step 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.
