Metabolism Explained
Understanding metabolism reveals that the body primarily produces ATP, water, and carbon dioxide as it breaks down fat and carbohydrates for energy. The balance between fat and carbohydrate usage is crucial, especially during exercise, as fat serves as an unlimited energy reserve while carbohydrates are limited. By measuring carbon dioxide output, one can assess fuel utilization, highlighting the importance of sparing glycogen during physical activity for optimal performance.In this clip
