Energy from Food:We do work as we convert the energy that is stored in our body. We eat food to obtain the energy that is required for our body to function. Each food has its own calorific value which is the energy that is stored in it. The ...
Longer and more intense runs burn up your body’s stored energy much faster. In these cases, you could end up needing more fuel to get through your race or training. Even shorter jogs can lead to exhaustion if your body isn’t used to running. How can you prevent exhaustion? The best...

With aerobic exercise, the body uses the so-called aerobic energy system, to grant energy for prolonged physical activity. Aerobic exercises are generally low in intensity and long in duration. That system, requires oxygen to release energy and sustain the effort. ...
"Any unused energy is then stored as body fat to be used when extra fuel is needed." Activity, of course, alters energy expenditure. A five-kilometer run, for example, burns between 1,300 to 1,500 kilojoules in a person of average height and weight. So, if physical activity burns ener...
