A well-known problem in differential geometry concerns upper bounds of the minimal length of closed geodesics of a compact manifold in terms of the volume of the manifold. A naturally related question is to bound it in terms of the diameter. In this paper, it is proven that the minimal length of stationary 1-cycles can be bounded in terms of the diameter. Closed geodesics are stationary 1-cycles, and hence this result is a weaker version of the bound on the minimal length of geodesics in terms of the diameter. Similar bounds are also obtained in terms of the filling radius, a notion introduced by Gromov.
