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. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $aacid-base balance 610 $aactual nutrition 610 $aadolescent 610 $aageing 610 $aanthropometry 610 $aathletes 610 $abioelectrical impedance 610 $abioimpedance 610 $aBIVA 610 $ablood lactate 610 $abody composition 610 $abody weight 610 $abone development 610 $abone mineral 610 $abrain impairment 610 $acardiometabolic risk 610 $achild 610 $aconfidence ellipses 610 $aDEXA 610 $adiet 610 $aDXA method 610 $aeating habits 610 $aelderly sport 610 $aexecutive functions 610 $aexhaustive exercise 610 $afat mass 610 $afatigue 610 $afootball 610 $ahandball 610 $ahealth 610 $ahigh-performance athletes 610 $ahydration status 610 $akinanthropometry 610 $alean body mass 610 $amaximum aerobic capacity 610 $an/a 610 $aobese 610 $aobesity 610 $aoverweight 610 $apara-sport 610 $aparalympics 610 $aphase angle 610 $aphysical health 610 $aphysical performance 610 $apreseason training 610 $aR-Xc graph 610 $aR-Xc graph 610 $areactance 610 $aresistance 610 $asoccer 610 $asomatic maturation 610 $aspecific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) 610 $aTai Chi Chuan 610 $atolerance ellipses 610 $atotal weight 610 $aTriceps skinfold 610 $avector length 610 $ayoung sport 610 $ayouth 610 $ayouth athletes 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aToselli$b Stefania$4edt$01326279 702 $aToselli$b Stefania$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557734703321 996 $aBody Composition and Physical Health in Sports Practice$93037256 997 $aUNINA
