Answer: Oxidative Phosphorylation

Explanation: Oxidative phosphorylation is the process where energy is produced by the help of protein complexes present in the inner-membrane of mitochondria which results in formation of ATP.

The energy required for running is provided by oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria of the active muscles. During transitions and short periods energy from substrate phosphorylation is required. It usually happens when running speed is increased.
