How many seconds can a (cycling) sprinter maintain anaerobic power?
Whether you're a sprinter or not, there's only about a dozen seconds worth
of glycogen in your body.
You are thinking of the phosphagen energy system (stored ATP and
phosphocreatne) which lasts for 10 seconds or so. The stored glycogen
is good for about a minute and a half.

Whoops. You're right, I was wrong. Thanks for the correction.
