- catalog abstract "What methods and equations are best for estimating the body fat of your clients? Should your client's age, gender, ethnic group, and physical activity level affect the method and equation you select? Applied Body Composition Assessment helps you answer these questions and more. You'll learn the principles underlying skinfold, bioelectrical impedance, near-infrared interactance, and anthropometric methods. You'll also discover how body composition measurements may be used by practitioners in the health and fitness fields, principles for evaluating body composition methods and equations, the potential sources of measurement error for various methods, and statistical techniques used in developing equations. The book even helps you assess specific groups based on age, gender, ethnicity, body fat, and physical activity levels. The Quick Reference Guide features decision trees and equation finders to help you quickly and easily locate the proper method and equation for each client. Applied Body Composition Assessment is an excellent reference for exercise scientists, graduate students, nutritionists, physical therapists, and health and fitness professionals who practice body composition assessment in a clinical or research setting.".
