Explanation:

During physical activity, muscles, our most important energy consumers, and our brain, require available energy to function. The muscles to be able to coordinate movement, and other activities during exercize, and the brain, to coordinate everything, including our moving muscles and the systems that will support that movement, like the heart and lungs. To provide this energy, then, stores of fats and carbs are released so that the requiring cells can take them and use them to produce the needed energy. When a person regularly exercizes, muscles start to gain tissue, and increase in size and the body becomes thus like a power plant, that requires constant provision of energy to maintain that expenditure.

Thus, people who participate in physical activities are more energized because their metabolisms adapt to their new physical condition and their bodies become much more efficient at utilizing energy-producing molecules (fats and carbs), than those people who do not engage in physical activity at all.
