Recently I sat through a great workshop on metabolism (energy systems connection with source of fuel) at the PDHPETA Conference. Though this does not sound like it is connected with the HSC PDHPE syllabus, there were some great points made, I thought I should share with you. Metabolism refers to the energy burnt by your [...]

This energy system uses fats, carbs, and protein to produce plenty of ATP, but produces them at a slower rate compared to the two [...]
