Careful measurements of the energy balance of exercising humans permit the estimate of not only the overall efficiency of performing aerobic muscular work (27%) but also the efficiency of transforming chemical energy into mechanical work (41%), as well as the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation (i.e., "ATP synthesis") during substrate oxidation (65%).
