produce the energy molecule ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Respiration (breathing) is the way organisms exchange gases with their environment (White and Campo 2004). During cellular respiration organisms break down energy rich macromolecules such as starch to make ATP in a chemical reaction where oxygen and water is involved (Ege R. and A. Krogh 1914).The use of oxygen is very important; therefore the efficient acquisition of oxygen is very necessary for an animal’s survival. Depending

The female athlete triad (Triad) is a disorder affecting young women athletes, this condition is usually comprised of three factors; energy availability, menstrual health and bone mineral density (Brown, Wengreen, & Beals, 2014; Melin et al., 2015). The term energy availability refers to the leftover dietary energy available for normal bodily functions like tissue repair and maintenance after energy has been expended for exercise, and a low energy availability can be attributed to insufficient energy
