This is right that Children’s muscle tends to use more fat as fuel than glycogen or glucose. However, for the same amount of energy, approximately 10 per cent more oxygen is needed, if fat is the substrate compared to glycogen, so it is a less efficient fuel. Children also tend to utilize glycogen or glucose more slowly the younger they are.They have very flexible body.
I live just outside of Chicago with three children. I believe in moving, being your best and inspiring others lives with healthy, real options. I understand the craziness of everyday and the reality of what is possible each day while believing I can make a difference. Check out my website at www.andreametcalf.com for more.
