relates to performance. It includes a clear definition of
terminology and a discussion of the various methods for measuring
body composition. The authored papers represent a state-of-the-art
review of this controversial field and address questions such as:
What is a better measure of body composition?body fat or lean body
mass? Does being overweight for one's height really affect
performance? The book also addresses the issue of physical
