Ketones are aerobic only.  High intensity exercise like the 100 yard sprint or olympic lifting, is purely anaerobic and requires glucose  Low intensity exercise like a walking, jogging, elliptical, cycling, hiking, etc. can be purely aerobic (if done at a low enough intensity)    The purely aerobic exercise will allow ketones to be the dominant fuel burned.  When given a choice the brain, heart and muscles will choose ketones over glucose, they can only do this if both are present in the blood  (3)  Study - Journal ‘Cell Metabolism’  Study looked at the effects of exogenous ketone administration in 39 high performance athletes to see how the body utilises different forms of energy during exercise   Each of the 39 athletes completed 3 experimental trials consisting of 1 hour of constant load cycling (high-intensity at 75%) - athletes were given a ketone ester (KE), carbohydrate (CHO) or fat (FAT) drink 15 minutes prior to the start of the exercise and 45 minutes into the 1 hour trial  Athletes who ingested the KE drink, were found to display lower levels of lactate, plasma free fatty acids (FFA), glycerol and plasma glucose than those athletes that ingested the CHO or FAT drink, throughout the entire 1 hour exercise trial period  Suggests that KE might have some sort of sparing effect on intramuscular glucose stores, most likely due to the suppressive effect on muscle glycolysis   And suggests that ketones were oxidised as an alternative to pyruvate, reducing the reliance on glycolysis to provide acetyl-CoA needed for the TCA cycle  (5) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  References  1) Ketones and Exercise – What You Need to Know.
