Abstract:
Interest in the relationships between body structure and function in physical activity has persisted for centuries. This volume advances understanding beyond simple descriptions of body physique and composition of athletes and fills gaps in our understanding of the important role of muscle, fat and bone in facilitating physical performance and health in sports and physically demanding occupations. It addresses basic, practical and applied topics in body composition, performance and health with comprehensive reviews organised in four logical parts.
