Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of body composition (fat, bone and muscle) is an important process throughout the biomedical sciences. This is the first book to offer a clear and detailed introduction to the key methods and techniques in body composition analysis and to explain the importance of body composition data in the context of sport, exercise and health. With contributions from some of the world’s leading body composition specialists, the book goes further than any other in demonstrating the practical and applied value of body composition analysis in areas such as performance sport and weight control in clinical populations. The book pays particular attention to the important concept of change in body composition, and includes discussion of ethical issues in the collection, interpretation and presentation of data, and considerations when working with special populations. Bridging the gap between research methods and practical application, this book is important reading for advanced students and practitioners working in sport and exercise science, health science, anatomy, nutrition, physical therapy or ergonomics.

This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In partnership with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), pioneer body composition experts Timothy G. Lohman and Laurie A. Milliken, along with a team of highly regarded contributors, have compiled a practical guide to performing body composition assessments. With an easy-to-follow format and straightforward writing, ACSM’s Body Composition Assessment provides readers foundational information and scientific research with applications in the fields of medicine, exercise science, nutrition, growth and development, and geriatrics. ACSM’s Body Composition Assessment delves into the methodology for a number of techniques, including DXA, BIA, ultrasound, underwater weighing, ADP, total body water, multicomponent models, anthropometry (including skinfolds and circumferences), and BMI. The text uncovers the sources of error inherent in each measurement technique, and it identifies populations to whom these techniques can be applied with accuracy. Researchers and clinicians alike will benefit from descriptions of methods for use in both laboratory and field settings, protocols for the standardization of each method, and advantages and limitations for each method. The text thoroughly examines the health implications of body composition by looking at the relationships between chronic disease and total body fat, fat distribution, muscle mass, and bone density. It also facilitates the reader’s ability to assess changes in body composition over time and to understand special considerations in assessing body composition in athletes, children, older adults, the overweight population, and clinical populations. ACSM’s Body Composition Assessment is supplemented with a web resource containing audio-narrated PowerPoint slides to support a deep understanding of the content. The slides walk readers through key points and assessments in each chapter, and select photos and tables from the book are included to facilitate learning and retention. ACSM’s Body Composition Assessment will help alleviate errors in body composition assessment, making it an ideal reference for practicing fitness, health, and medical professionals; nutrition specialists; and exercise physiologists.

This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. military personnel are required to adhere to standards of body composition, fitness, and appearance to achieve and maintain readiness--that is, the maintenance of optimum health and performance so they are ready for deployment at any moment. In 1992, the Committee on Military Nutrition Research reviewed the existing standards and found, among other things, that the standards for body composition required for women to achieve an appearance goal seemed to conflict with those necessary to ensure the ability to perform many types of military tasks. This report addresses that conflict, and reviews and makes recommendations about current policies governing body composition and fitness, as well as postpartum return-to-duty standards, Military Recommended Dietary Allowances, and physical activity and nutritional practices of military women to determine their individual and collective impact on the health, fitness, and readiness of active-duty women.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the increased participation in competitive sports and athletics among women, there is a greater number of issues related to body weight concerns, eating and exercise habits, as well as high risk behaviors, which are particularly evident in female athletes. There are also many more minority women participating in competitive sports, presenting a greater need to examine these issues among a more diverse population of competitive female athletes. Hispanic American (HA) athletes in particular, represent a growing segment of the athletic population that is in need of more information regarding their exercise-related behaviors. The aim of this study was to compare and examine body composition, eating habits, exercise habits, and high risk behavior patterns in a tri-racial group of Caucasian American (CA), African American (AA), and HA athletes. Methods: A total of 168 female collegiate athletes were recruited for study which included 82 CA athletes, 35 AA athletes, and 51 HA athletes. Physical characteristics including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WAIST), and percent body fat were examined in all athletes. In addition, all athletes completed a self-administered modified Youth Risk Behavior Survey and Eating Attitudes Test -- 26 (EAT-26). Logistic regression analyses was used to determine the influence of BMI and race on categorical variables related to body weight concerns, eating and exercise habits, and high risk behaviors. Results: BMI significantly contributed to the variance in categorical variables related to body weight concerns (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although its underlying concept is a relatively simple one—the measurement of the human body and its parts—anthropometry employs a myriad of methods and instruments, and is useful for a variety of purposes, from understanding the impact of disease on individuals to tracking changes in populations over time. The first interdisciplinary reference on the subject, the Handbook of Anthropometry brings this wide-ranging field together: basic theory and highly specialized topics in normal and abnormal anthropometry in terms of health, disease prevention, and intervention. Over 140 self-contained chapters cover up-to-date indices, the latest studies on computerized methods, shape-capturing systems, and bioelectrical impedance, data concerning single tissues and whole-body variables, and reports from different areas of the world. Chapters feature helpful charts and illustrations, cross-references to related chapters are included, and key points are presented in bullet form for ease of comprehension. Together, the Handbook’s thirteen sections entail all major aspects of anthropometrical practice and research, including: Tools and techniques. Developmental stages, from fetus to elder. Genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Exercise and nutrition. Ethnic, cultural, and geographic populations. Special conditions and circumstances. The Handbook of Anthropometry is an invaluable addition to the reference libraries of a broad spectrum of health professionals, among them health scientists, physicians, physiologists, nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, public health researchers, epidemiologists, exercise physiologists, and physical therapists. It is also useful to college-level students and faculty in the health disciplines, as well as to policymakers and ergonomists.

Download or read book Best Practice Protocols for Physique Assessment in Sport written by Patria A. Hume and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines best practice protocols for body composition analysis of high-performance athletes and provides guidance on the use of new technologies for anthropometry. While surface anthropometry has traditionally been used to assess body composition through the internationally recognised methodology of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), the recent commercialisation of devices, such as bioelectrical impedance technologies, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), ultrasound, 3D photometry and air-displacement plethysmography (Bod Pod), has led to the non-standardised adoption of new measurement techniques. In this textbook, leading researchers detail standardisation procedures for each technology: in terms of athlete preparation, test protocols, test reporting, equipment calibration and data interpretation. Each chapter covers a different tool: how it works, what it is used to measure, and what the issues are surrounding its validity, practicality and reliability. This book provides an essential reference for device technicians and sport practitioners, ensuring that high-performance athletes are afforded accurate and comparable body composition information to guide their training routines.

Download or read book The Relationship Between BMI and Body Composition in Collegiate Athletes written by Kelli A. Carlson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used to determine overweight and obesity; however, it does not directly measure body composition, therefore BMI may misclassify athletes compared to their actual body composition. The purpose was to determine the relationship between BMI and body composition in collegiate athletes. One hundred seventy two athletes (92 males and 80 females) from a variety of sports participated. Body composition measures included height, weight and whole body adiposity via Air Displacement Plethysmography. Categorical agreement and correlations were calculated. According to BMI, 0.6% were underweight, 59.9% were normal weight, 35.5% were overweight and 4.1% were obese. According to body fat 4.7% were underfat, 89.0% were healthy, 3.5% were overfat and 2.9% were obese. Categorical classification accuracy between BMI and body fat percentage was 59.3%. Males and females were divided into three equal groups (low, medium and high) based on mass and BF%. Pearson's correlation was run between BMI and BF% for the three mass and BF% groups. Statistically significant moderate correlations were found for the high mass males (r=0.574, p=0.001) and for the high mass females (r=0.541, p=0.004) indicating BMI tends to be more highly related in higher mass athletes. Pearson's correlation was also run between BMI and BF% for the three equal BF% groups for both males and females. A statistically significant moderate correlation was found for the high BF% males (r=0.553, p=0.001) and a statistically significant moderately high correlation for the high BF% females (r=0.622, p≤0.001) indicating the higher the BF%, the more highly related BMI tends to be. BMI and BF% agree 59.3% of the time in athletes from a variety of sports. Misclassification errors occur when BMI classifies collegiate athletes as overweight, while BF% classifies them as having healthy body fat. The higher the BF% of the athletes, the more highly related BMI tends to be.
