Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic metabolism fuels most of the energy needed for long duration activity. It uses oxygen to convert macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) to ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Oxidative system– This system is the primary source of ATP at rest and during low-intensity activities. The body uses mainly carbohydrates and fats during this system. At rest you are mainly using fats compared to the carbohydrates until the intensity increases.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic Energy System (Low Intensity – Long Duration – Endurance)
