Mauro Prosperi was a police officer and resistance runner, Prosperi took part in 1994 at the Marathon des Sables, an ultramarathon held in Morocco, then lost his way due to a sand storm, and remained several hours without eating or drinking.

Stress and contraction muscle converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is essential for muscle contraction; the problem is that the stock of ATP must be constantly renewed as it is weak and largely solicited by effort.

In an endurance sport (as Mauro practiced), the recycling of ADP into ATP is mainly through cellular respiration and it is the type I fibers that intervene, which allowed it to survive and maintain its energy capital.

If the heart becomes damaged or weakened, how will this affect the body’s systems?

jek_recluse [69]

Think of blood as a gas/ fuel for the car ( your body). If there is no fuel, there's no movement (dead) so when the fuel tank is damaged the car won't function properly.
So if the heart becomes damaged, or weakened it would start making blood clots and damage the organs that need blood to function properly. The circulatory system wouldn't function properly and because other organs depend on the circulatory system it would cause a chain reaction, affecting other body systems. <span />
