Many contemporary scientists have contributed to the field of body composition research as it exists today, even though interest in the topic extends back several thousand years. Quantifying human body composition in sports practice plays an important role in monitoring athletes' health status, performances, and training regimens. Such analysis can be performed in different contexts and with different approaches—e.g., in cross-sectional studies that aim to characterize sporting group samples and in longitudinal research finalized to define short-term or long-term changes and implications for physical health and performance. Body composition is also fundamental for a correct interpretation of body mass and weight status to plan specific interventions. This book adds new information on the effect of body composition on physical health and sport performance, current body composition measurement techniques and strategies for improving physical health through sports practice.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscBIVAconfidence ellipsesphase angleR-Xc graphtolerance ellipsesTriceps skinfoldoverweightyouthobesechildadolescentresistancereactancebioimpedancehealthexecutive functionsyoung sportblood lactateexhaustive exercisefatigueelderly sportbody compositionhydration statusvector lengthR-Xc graphageingTai Chi Chuanspecific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA)handballathletesbioelectrical impedancepreseason trainingDEXAbone mineralbone developmentyouth athleteshigh-performance athletesactual nutritioneating habitsdietacid-base balancemaximum aerobic capacitytotal weightlean body massfat massDXA methodkinanthropometryphysical performancebody weightanthropometrysomatic maturationcardiometabolic risksoccerobesityphysical healthparalympicspara-sportbrain impairmentfootballResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesToselli Stefaniaedt1326279Toselli StefaniaothBOOK9910557734703321Body Composition and Physical Health in Sports Practice3037256UNINA
