Question

Emma is a 19-year-old national level elite triathlete, and she trains about 25 hours per week with 5 hours as strength exercises. Her BMI is 20, and her percent body fat is 15%. She eats a varied diet but does not like fruits and vegetables and tends to focus on carbohydrate-rich foods and meat and cheese, but because of her schedule, she eats irregularly and eats out a lot, tending towards sandwiches and wraps.

Because her body fat is 15%, Emma is at risk for female athlete triad. Which of the following statements is
FALSE with this condition:
She is at risk for an eating disorder
She has likely stopped menstruating
She is at risk for iron deficiency
She is at risk for osteoporosis

Emma's athletic status and training regimen suggests her VO2max would likely be:
High at approximately 75 mL/kg/min
Low at approximately 10 ml/kg/min, which reflects her high cardiorespiratory fitness
Efficient at approximately 25 mL/kg/min
Not important as VO2max does not reflect cardiorespiratory fitness
Moderate at approximately 50 ml/kg/min because she does little resistance exercise
