Misael · Answer 1

The answer is b) fat represents the major fuel source during sustained, moderate activity

Explanation:

During physical exercise, the majority use of fat will mainly be due to the intensity and duration of said exercise. According to the exercise, the intensity of the fat decreases and the fat contribution increases. For example, during low intensity and very long duration exercises, an increase in the use of fat begins as the only source of energy.
