Body Composition Assessment In Children And Adolescents

توضیحات

This book has been published because we considered it necessary to present, in a simple publication, details of the methods used in the study of body composition in children with specific examples of the results obtained using some of these approaches. To date, descriptions of methods have often been incomplete in the literature. The following 15 chapters present a range of different aspects of this unique topic ranging from simple anthropometry to the technologically advanced technique of magnetic resonance imaging.

This monograph represents what should be considered as the beginning as there is strong evidence to suggest that there is a need to conduct further research on this topic in the future.
