How does inadequate energy intake contribute to the development of the female athlete triad? A. Energy deficit only affects performance without impacting hormonal status B. Insufficient caloric intake to meet high energy expenditure leads to reduced luteinizing hormone secretion and bone mineral loss C. Low energy availability simply reflects poor dietary choices with no physiological consequences Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments!

What pattern generally characterizes the development of muscular strength in male children and adolescents? A. Linear increase throughout childhood with a plateau at puberty B.

How do age-related changes in preactivation and cocontraction affect functional ability in older adults? A. Decreased cocontraction results in improved explosive strength B. Increased reliance on cocontraction as a compensatory mechanism increases postural stability but reduces power production C.
