Question

after consulting a doctor, why would an athlete most likely decide to drink shakes made with powdered supplements?
to replace other forms of nutrients
to stay hydrated while working out
to build their muscles and endurance
to act as a break during interval training

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "to replace other forms of nutrients": Powdered supplements are not typically for replacing other nutrients but for specific needs like muscle building.
• "to stay hydrated while working out": Hydration is mainly from water or electrolyte - rich drinks, not powdered supplement shakes.
• "to build their muscles and endurance": Many powdered supplements (like protein or pre - workout supplements) are designed to support muscle growth and increase endurance, which is a common goal for athletes.
• "to act as a break during interval training": A shake is not a break in the sense of a rest period; interval training breaks are about rest or low - intensity activity.

Answer:

C. to build their muscles and endurance
