A member asked:
Importance of beta oxidation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beta Oxidation: To generate energy, your body has 3 systems it uses - stored ATP (for intense, short duration exercise), glycolysis (which uses stored glycogen in your muscles), and beta oxidation, which is used for long duration, sustained exercise. All three are important and kick in as required, depending on the length of exercise.
