Since the mitochondria produce energy for the body's cells, they are essential in physical activity as more energy is used so more energy must be provided to the muscle cells. People who are able to develop more red blood cells at high altitudes are able to provide their cells with more oxygen so can make more energy quicker. Mitochondria are the organelles that produce energy in the form of ATP for a cell.
