Understanding energy systems can be complicated but it's really just the process of taking macronutrients and turning it into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is the energy currency of our cells.

Having a better knowledge of the 3 macronutrients: Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins, will help you understand nutrition for performance and how the body responds at the level of intensity we are working at.

In this video, Coach Joe Drake from the Axiom Fitness Academy discusses the 3 primary energy systems involved in Bioenergetics:
1) ATP-pc
2) Glycolytic
3) Oxidative

Take notes on this video to know all you need to know from Chapter 8 of the NASM CPT 7th Edition exam.
