inflammation, and novel activity patterns in the brain that

energy, which may result in reduced body fat.

then the system switches to the liver as a secondary

source. Cardio exercise increases muscle glucose and fat

metabolism.

length and a different joint angle.

• limited use in sports

the weight lifted compared to one repetition's maximum

strength.
