Applying anthropometry in health: diseases identification and diagnosis. 330 $aThe science of Anthropometry is gaining an increasing number of followers, as it allows for a valid, reliable and cheap assessment of body composition and other interesting variables from the point of view of health and sport. However, not many books have addressed the anthropometric technique from its foundations. This book deals with issues to consider during an anthropometric assessment, such as the physical approach to the subject during the anthropometric assessment, or the factors to consider so that the data obtained are valid and reliable. It also clearly and concisely addresses the approach to body composition with anthropometry, what somatotype is, and how it is interpreted, and how anthropometry can be used to obtain proportionality values, which are very useful for the detection of sporting talents. Finally, the application of anthropometry in two of the fields where anthropometry is most used: the field of sport from the basics to elite sport, and health. All of this is conducted under the perspective of two of the world's leading experts in kinanthropometry, with the goal for the reader to acquire knowledge on every aspect of anthropometry, from the basics to in-depth knowledge of this science. 606 $aSports medicine 606 $aSports sciences 606 $aRecreation$xEquipment and supplies 606 $aMedical sciences 606 $aSports Medicine 606 $aSport Technology 606 $aSports Biomechanics 606 $aHealth Sciences 615 0$aSports medicine. 615 0$aSports sciences. 615 0$aRecreation$xEquipment and supplies. 615 0$aMedical sciences. 615 14$aSports Medicine. 615 24$aSport Technology. 615 24$aSports Biomechanics. 615 24$aHealth Sciences. 676 $a617.1027 700 $aEsparza-Ros$b Francisco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01784963 702 $aVaquero-Cristóbal$b Raquel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983495703321 996 $aAnthropometry$94316561 997 $aUNINA
