Studies on high-carbohydrate diets and physical endurance in runners show dietary carbs increased maximum endurance, even though fats have more than twice the energy of carbs. How could this be true?

1.Dietary fat isn’t used directly for energy.
2.Aerobic activity relies on glucose for energy.
3.Energy from fat metabolism is released by a slower path than carbs.
4.Dietary fat isn’t used directly for energy & aerobic activity relies on glucose for energy.
5.Aerobic activity relies on glucose for energy & energy from fat metabolism is released by a slower path than carbohydrate.

Answer questions 1-10 based on the "Marcie" case study information below. Marcie is a 25-year-old, sedentary woman who is 5 feet tall, weighs 150 pounds, and is currently breast feeding her baby (lactating). Several months after her baby was born her health was not improving as she had expected, so she had a health assessment done. The results indicated that she is obese with fasting total blood

cholesterol of 238 mg/dL, triglycerides of 331 mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol of 205 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol of 33 mg/dL, fasting blood sugar of 152 mg/dL, and resting blood pressure of 145/76 mm Hg. Dietary analysis results showed her to have a total daily Calorie intake of 2,705, Calorie need of 2,241, protein intake of 84 grams, fiber intake of 18 grams, cholesterol intake of 433 mg, and sodium intake of 3,885 mg. Marcie should minimize saturated fatty acid intake to help control her low-density lipoprotein (LDL) blood cholesterol level. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
