Formation of the enzyme-substrate complex

How does the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex explain the reduction of the activation energy of chemical reactions?

The enzyme probably works as a test tube in which reagents meet to structure products. With the facilitation of meeting offered by the enzymes it is simpler for collisions between reagents to happen and therefore the activation energy of chemical reaction is reduced down. This is one of the probable hypotheses.
