She currently has 18% body fat as measured by hydrostatic weighing. She is currently trying to gain weight. She supplements with fish oil and whey protein.

teammate worries about Maya's energy and hydration during practice and games so she frequently brings her low-fat, king-size candy bars containing 80 grams of carbohydrate per bar. Maya usually eats the whole thing and gives her friend lots of hugs for caring for her.

After the team practice, individual strength training is mandatory 3days a week. True or false: Fish oil and whey protein are great pre-workout supplements to take as ergogenic aids.?
