Energy Efficiency in Training
Willpower consumes valuable neural energy, often equal to the energy expended during physical training. Excessive decision-making can drain resources that could otherwise enhance performance. Engaging in long-duration, moderate-effort activities builds mitochondrial density, leading to greater efficiency and reduced fuel consumption over time.In this clip
