| Course Contents |
| This course includes the identification of the fundamental components of body composition and a comprehensive examination of the methods used to assess them; the study of fat mass, lean body mass, water, protein, minerals, and other components; detailed evaluation of assessment methods such as anthropometric measurements (height, weight, skinfold thickness, circumference, and diameter), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), hydrodensitometry (underwater weighing), and air displacement plethysmography; the analysis of measurement results, comparison with norms, and their use in individual health and performance assessments; and practical applications of various measurement techniques in a laboratory setting. |
