Summary
Energy is needed to perform the work required while exercising. This energy is supplied via cellular metabolism. In simple terms, the food that we eat supplies us with the necessary substrate for energy production. During this process, energy is ‘trapped’ in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
