Muscle contraction is pretty inefficient from a metabolic perspective, with around 50 % of the
energy produced lost in the form of heat, instead of being used for moving an object (
mechanical energy).
These short bursts of optimal loading also provide a high - intensity workout, stimulating the cardiovascular system, and leveraging the benefits referenced by Dr Doug McGuff, «The low resting heart rate and others markers for good health are not really something that's happened in the cardiovascular system, but because the
energy producing part of the body like the mitochondria, and all the enzymes involved in the production of
energy, are upregulated (due to quality of
mechanical work with muscle) and become more powerful and efficient.
The the amount of voltage
produced by the Alternator is proportional to the engine RPM and the Alternator is at best 50 to 60 % efficient meaning it only converts 50 % of the

energy.
