Energy Systems Tapped by Common Sports

There's a very interesting table embedded in this Paul Chek article. It's from the late Mel Siff's Supertraining, an out-of-print book I really should track down. The table lists...

...contribution of short, intermediate and long-term energy systems to common sports. This information is useful in determining acute exercise variables for program design. Please note that most sports are anaerobic, yet many athletes and coaches make the mistake of using aerobic training to prepare for anaerobic sports, which actually decreases performance.

So is Ultimate more like basketball, or soccer? And if soccer, which position? Keep in mind there's more subbing in Ultimate (which is not to say I've already formed my opinion).
