Think about Trevor. His first triathlon was a disaster. A couple of miles into the 10 mile run he had to slow his pace to a slow walk, and after 8 miles he could not continue. He failed to complete the triathlon. Trevor really wants to become a better fat burner so he doesn't use all his muscle glycogen and have to slow his pace. He's confused, however, and has lots of questions about the effects of endurance training, especially on the use of fats.
When you talk with Trevor which of the following statements about adaptations made as a result of endurance (aerobic) training are true and should be shared with him so he has a better understanding of this issue? You can review
