Notes:
Please bear in mind the impact that the intensity of the exercise has on determining the primary energy system utilised for the activity. A high intensity activity, even if over a long duration, will still utilise anaerobic energy systems. The duration of the activity IS NOT the determining factor, rather the intensity, when establishing the energy system utilised during physical activity.
