Ian is an 18-year-old gymnast training at a private gym with many other male and female gymnasts. He is competing at an advanced level and is likely to make the next Olympic team. Lately, he has been finding some of his balance and strength moves on the rings and parallel bars more difficult. He has gone through a bit of a growth spurt and has gained about 5 pounds over the last year. He suspects the weight gain is causing his performance difficulties. He decides to try a weight loss program that will help him lose weight before his next big competition in 6 weeks. He is not sure how many calories to consume and therefore arbitrarily decides to eat 1500 calories per day.
Which assessments are required to determine whether Ian needs to lose weight?
a) Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation and body fat percentage measurement
b) Blood pressure measurement and cholesterol level check
c) Cardiovascular endurance test and lung capacity assessment
d) Bone density scan and muscle strength evaluation
