This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the entire field of body composition as it relates to performance. 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 compositionâ€"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.

Book excerpt: Interest in the relationships between body structure and function in physical activity has persisted for centuries. Body Composition: Health and Performance in Exercise and Sport 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. lt addresses basic, practical, and applied topics in body composition, performance, and health with comprehensive reviews organized in four logical parts: Body Composition Assessment; Physical Activity and Body Composition; Body Composition in Sports and Occupations; and Moderating Factors. This book integrates state-of-the-art knowledge by international experts in the field and produces an evidence-based practical guide for a balanced understanding of the role and use of body composition assessment in physical performance and health for youth and adults. It also provides a needed link between the practice of body composition assessment and its application by members of public health advisory committees that develop national guidelines for diet, physical activity, and health. This book is suitable for students and professionals in sports nutrition, exercise science, kinesiology, and athletic training. Sport administrators and policy-makers for international and national sport federations and organizations, and national intercollegiate and scholastic federations, would also benefit from this book.

This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

Dempsey and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven young men, differing markedly in body fat content, were tested at the beginning and end of consecutive periods of: daily training (8 weeks), voluntary training (5 weeks), and daily training (5 weeks). Body composition was assessed by means of water immersion densitometry, skin- fold fat measures, and both gross and fat-corrected body dimensions. Basal oxygen consumption, muscular strength, and the Balke treadmill test of sub-maximal work capacity were also measured. Caloric consumption over the entire 18 weeks, and physical activity during the period of voluntary activity, were recorded daily. The following changes were observed, within the limitations of measurement, in subjects undergoing daily training. Weight losses in initially overweight men were composed of increase in fat-free body weight and muscular mass, and decreases in skinfold and total body fat. One very thin subject increased his gross body weight entirely through a gain of fat-free body weight and muscle mass, while body fat remained constant. These changes were not evidenced during the period of reduced activity. Total proportional strength increased and decreased with training and detraining respectively, and was not directly dependent upon body mass or body composition. Basal oxygen intake increased per unit of weight and decreased per unit of fat-free body weight. The former change was partially accounted for by an increase in muscle mass, while the latter was attributed, primarily, to a decrease in body fat. Treadmill performance time improved irrespective of initial values and improvements were retained over the period of decreased activity. In 36 relatively sedentary young men, five measures of body mass and body composition were found (multiple regression analysis) to account for 52.21 per cent of the total interpersonal variance in treadmill performance time. Relative obesity or per cent body fat accounted for the majority (23.87%) of the variance and was significantly related to performance time with the effect of gross body weight partially out (r = -.603). The relationships between these variables were somewhat reduced in subjects who had undergone a daily program of vigorous exercise. The present findings are in agreement with previous clinical and laboratory observations which have associated obesity with an accumulation of excess body fat as well as subnormal levels of cardio-vascular performance, muscular strength and basal metabolism. It was further evidenced that a progressive program of vigorous, physical exercise contributed to the therapy of obesity by: a) specifically or independently changing each of the above parameters, and b) rendering changes in certain aspects of body composition which in turn contributed to improvements in the selected physiological variables.
