A group of college student athletes from the volleyball team have reported concerns about the reports regarding their weight and nutritional status. The reports were based on BMI (body mass index) values
The team's healthcare provider that collected the data and sent the reports decided to change their recommendations based on which explanation? 1. BMI reports are best used for athletes who are engaging in body-building activities.
2. BMI classifications should be used only on older adults.
3. BMI classifications do not take into account racial or physical variations.
4. Nutritional status of a college student should be evaluated using skinfold measurements.

Rationale 1: BMI reports are best used for athletes who engage in body-building activities. BMI classifications do not take into account physical variations or athletic levels of individuals.
Rationale 2: BMI classifications should be used only on older adults. The BMI is a tool that may be used on adults, not just older adults.
Rationale 3: BMI classifications do not take into account racial or physical variations. The BMI should not be used exclusively to evaluate weight or nutritional recommendations. It is not reflective of variations of body fat, muscle size or bone mineral content, racial or athletic level of an individual.
Rationale 4: Nutritional status of a college student should be evaluated using skinfold measurements. Skinfold measurement alone may not provide an overall nutrition evaluation.
