Question 3 • Fall 24 HS Physical Education

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Answer

Infants' diets, which primarily consist of breast milk or formula, are higher in fat than other diets.

Adolescents need more calories and nutrients, especially if they are very inactive.

Adults' activity levels tend to decline in age, which requires a reduction in the amount of calories consumed.

Children who are two years or older can follow the recommendations of the food guide pyramid.

Explanation

Adolescents need extra calories and nutrients to support rapid growth and development, especially when they are physically active. Being very inactive does not increase their needs; it generally means they need fewer calories than an equally sized, more active adolescent. Therefore, the statement that adolescents need more calories and nutrients especially if they are very inactive is NOT true.
