Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Athletes, who train for endurance sports like long-distance runners, are more likely to oxidize fat to provide energy instead of relying on glycogen and glucose. This ability is a product of aerobic conditioning. It is unrelated to a client's age and a diagnosis of a chronic disease. Ballet is not necessarily classified as an endurance sport and this is not the best answer.
