AB This  section  of  the  textbook  presents  information  relevant  to  providing  energy  for  physical  activity  and  exercise.  Chapter  3  focuses  specifically  on  the  macronutrients  and  micronutrients  in  the  diet,  and  their  specific  roles  within  the  body.  Chapter  4  then  details  the  specific  energy  pathways  that  provide  the  energy  to  perform  physical  work.  A  major  focus  is  on  the  interplay  between  the  anaerobic  and  aerobic  pathways,  and  how  they  seamlessly  interact  to  supply  energy  when  the  body  is  at  rest  all  the  way  up  to  maximal  exertion.  Chapter  5  introduces  the  concept  of  energy  balance  (i.e.,  the  balance  between  caloric  intake  vs.  caloric  expenditure)  and  how  that  impacts  weight  management.
