During different stages of a workout, the body responds with varying physiological changes. Initially, during warm-up, heart rate and blood flow increase to prepare muscles for exertion. During the main workout, energy production shifts from anaerobic to aerobic systems depending on intensity and duration. Post-exercise, the body enters a recovery phase where heart rate gradually returns to normal, muscle repair occurs, and nutrient replenishment is crucial. Recognizing these stages aids in optimizing performance and recovery strategies for better fitness outcomes.
