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 appearance as it relates to body fatness and performance. It includes an in-depth discussion of many of the topics of interest to those involved in sports medicine and exercise physiology. 606 $aPhysical fitness 606 $aBody composition 615 0$aPhysical fitness. 615 0$aBody composition. 676 $a612/.042 701 $aMarriott$b Bernadette M$01807762 701 $aGrumstrup-Scott$b Judith$01811990 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Military Nutrition Research 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960095303321 996 $aBody composition and physical performance$94364202 997 $aUNINA
