The answer is False. Disordered eating, amenorrhea (loss of a girl's period), and osteoporosis (a weakening of the bones) is the three combination that the female athlete have. Frequently than people who aren't athletes. But for some girls, not balancing the needs of their bodies and their sports can have major consequences. Because Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones.
