Ep. 4 – Understanding Exercise: Part 2: Energy Systems

This podcast is dedicated to educating you on the 3 energy systems in the body: the ATP-PC system, the Glycolytic system, and the Oxidative system, and most importantly, helping you understand them.

-The Oxidative system is also referred to as the aerobic system, and can be remembered as the “Sustain” or “Sustainable” system
