Which body composition assessment would be ideal to monitor bone density for athletes? Be sure to support the assessment that you have chosen. (2 points) How would you explain the Female Athlete Triad to someone? (2 points) How would you explain the Relative Energy Deficiency to someone? (2 points) If there is a loss of bone health for an athlete in their 20s, how might this affect their physiological status later in their lives (like 20 years later)?

Step 1
DEXA provides a comprehensive analysis of body composition, including bone mineral density, lean mass, and fat mass. It is considered the gold standard for measuring bone density and is highly accurate, non-invasive, and relatively quick to perform. 2) The Show more…

Which body composition measure(s) would be most appropriate for a lean athlete and which method may be most appropriate for an obese client? (BMI, BIA, bod pod, waist and hip circumference, skinfolds) Tell why you chose each test.

1. The following are body mass index (BMI) scores measured in 12 patients who are free of diabetes and participating in a study of risk factors for obesity. Body mass index is measured as the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters squared. 25 27 31 33 26 28 38 41 24 32 35 40 Consider the data in Problem #1. How many subjects would be needed to ensure that a 95% confidence interval estimate of BMI had a margin of error not exceeding 2 units?

We want to determine if an athlete's body-mass index (BMI) is a good predictor for the points he/she will earn in the decathlon (as determined by points earned). Which statistical method would best to use in this situation?
