Would a sprinter use aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration?

A sprinter would be using aerobic respiration. Running requires large quantities of oxygen, and is used up quickly to produce energy.EDIT: Actually, a sprinter would be more likely to use anaerobic respiration, if compared to someone else, such as a marathon runner.A marathon runner would rely on aerobic respiration and efficient use of the oxygen they breathe, whereas a sprinter would use up all that energy very fast, which would then lead to a lack of oxygen, which finally results in the usage of anaerobic respiration to attempt to fulfill the large amount of energy required to go so fast.

How does a marathon runner and the fastest human being differ?

I assume you mean physiologically. A marathon runner has high aerobic endurance, VO2 max, and lactate threshold. This means that they are capable of producing a high level of ATP (muscle energy) for a prolonged period of time utilizing oxygen to feed the muscles. A sprinter has many fast-twich muscle fibers that are trained to produce explosive energy for short periods of time, but without using oxygen, i.e. anaerobically.
