Which of the following populations is most likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates as an energy source during exercise?
1. Adolescence athletes 2. Athletes who run marathons 3. Athletes with chronic diseases 4. Ballet dancers
2 Rationale: 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.
