Energy Systems and Their Role in Fat Loss

Energy Systems and Their Role in Fat Loss

Our body uses different energy systems to fuel different types of exercise, and each system has different effects on fat loss. The three primary energy systems are the phosphagen system, the glycolytic system, and the oxidative system. The phosphagen system is used for short bursts of high-intensity exercise, while the glycolytic system is used for moderate-intensity exercise, and the oxidative system is used for low-intensity exercise. Combining different types of exercise can help to optimize energy systems for fat loss.
