Interest in the relationships between body structure and function
in physical activity has persisted for centuries. Body Composition:
Health and Performance in Exercise and Sport advances understanding
beyond simple descriptions of body physique and composition of
athletes and fills gaps in our understanding of the important role
of muscle, fat, and bone in facilitating physical performance and
health in sports and physically demanding occupations. lt addresses
basic, practical, and applied topics in body composition,
performance, and health with comprehensive reviews organized in
four logical parts: Body Composition Assessment; Physical Activity
and Body Composition; Body Composition in Sports and Occupations;
and Moderating Factors. This book integrates state-of-the-art
knowledge by international experts in the field and produces an
evidence-based practical guide for a balanced understanding of the
role and use of body composition assessment in physical performance
and health for youth and adults. It also provides a needed link
between the practice of body composition assessment and its
application by members of public health advisory committees that
develop national guidelines for diet, physical activity, and
health. This book is suitable for students and professionals in
sports nutrition, exercise science, kinesiology, and athletic
training. Sport administrators and policy-makers for international
and national sport federations and organizations, and national
intercollegiate and scholastic federations, would also benefit from
this book.
