Professional athletes agree: peak physical performance during workouts and competition require maximum energy and mental focus. Even if you're not a professional athlete, the same principle applies - during any workout, you need the energy and focus to achieve the best results you can in the time available. What's more, fatigue and lack of focus often lead to injuries and poor exercise results.

Research Brief
Our bodies depend on energy to function. Energy is derived mostly through the breakdown of dietary nutrients and is transported as biological energy by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is "metabolic output," the creation of energy through the breakdown of nutrients. When proper nutrients are not ingested to keep energy stores high, metabolic output is low and your body is deprived of sufficient energy to perform at its peak.
Physical activity exerts metabolic stress in the sense that many physiological changes occur, including release of stress hormones and consequent shifts in fuel availability and use. This disrupts the natural homeostasis of body, which in turn causes more stress on the body.
