Fat provides energy at rest & during __________________________ activity.

A person with lower HR tends to have _____________ exercise capacity and ______________ VO2max.

Body stores of _________(fat or carbs) are larger, but not as easily accessible, therefore it is limited as an energy source by its rate of energy release
