Haha, good thing this isn't a test on endurance training for couch potatoes! I'd be in trouble.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. But I think I'll go with D. Lower blood lactate levels just make more sense to me as the primary adaptation.

I agree with Lindy. Lower blood lactate levels are a key indicator of endurance training adaptations.

B is the correct answer. Endurance training leads to an increase in oxygen consumption, which is a key adaptation that allows the body to perform better during exercise.

I think the answer is D. Lower blood lactate levels. Endurance training improves the body's ability to use oxygen more efficiently, reducing the need for anaerobic metabolism and lactate production.
