I still think B) An increase in oxygen consumption is the most likely change. It's essential for endurance athletes.

That's a good point Serita. More blood flow to the muscles can definitely help with endurance.

But what about option C) An increase in the blood flow to the exercising muscle? Wouldn't that also happen with endurance training?

I think lower blood lactate levels might also occur due to better lactate clearance with endurance training.

I believe there will also be an increase in blood flow to the exercising muscle to meet the increased oxygen demand.
