Relative contribution of ATP production of bioenergetic systems during aerobic exercise at maximum intensity (e.g. sprinting) Aerobic and anaerobic systems usually work concurrently. When describing activity, it is not a question of which energy system is working, but which predominates. [1] [8]
Lactic acid fermentation is used by human muscle cells as a means of generating ATP during strenuous exercise where oxygen consumption is higher than the supplied oxygen. As this process progresses, the surplus of lactate is brought to the liver , which converts it back to pyruvate.
In ruminants, because dietary carbohydrates tend to be metabolized by rumen organisms, gluconeogenesis occurs regardless of fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, exercise, etc. [8] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise.
In catabolism, fatty acids are metabolized to produce energy, mainly in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When compared to other macronutrient classes (carbohydrates and protein), fatty acids yield the most ATP on an energy per gram basis, when they are completely oxidized to CO 2 and water by beta oxidation and the citric acid cycle.

The oxidative system (aerobic) is the primary source of ATP supplied to the body at rest and during low intensity activities and uses primarily carbohydrates and fats as substrates. Protein is not normally metabolized significantly, except during long term starvation and long bouts of exercise (greater than 90 minutes.)
Exercise was performed during eating windows and the types of exercise included aerobic, resistance, or a combination of the two. In some studies, there was also a calorie restriction for both groups.
The cycle occurs when ATP reservoirs run low (ADP > ATP), such as strenuous exercise, fasting or starvation. [ 5 ] [ 9 ] Proteins catabolize into amino acids, and amino acids are precursors for purines, nucleotides and nucleosides which are used in the purine nucleotide cycle. [ 7 ]
The energy used by human cells in an adult requires the hydrolysis of 100 to 150 mol/L of ATP daily, which means a human will typically use their body weight worth of ATP over the course of the day. [30] Each equivalent of ATP is recycled 1000–1500 times during a single day (150 / 0.1 = 1500), [29] at approximately 9×10 20 molecules/s. [29]
