The body requires energy even during complete rest‚ called the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The body is still active and is working‚ though to a lesser extent than during physical activity. Tasks including the maintenance of ion gradients‚ internal temperature‚ circulation of blood‚ and many other basic functions happen in order

The three energy systems that an athlete would use during a 1500 metre race are; 1: ATP-PC System (anaerobic); 2: Lactic Acid System (anaerobic glycolysis); 3: Aerobic System (oxidative system). The ATP-PC System (anaerobic) is used during short bursts of activity during the race. This could be at the start of the race and more
