Abstract des Autors

Football coaches and players tend to place too much emphasis on total body weight, which often results in an athlete whose percentage of body fat is too high. This is regrettable because not only does it reduce the athletes efficiency, but it also contributes to one of the nations most serious health problems, obesity. In our quest for these large athletes, we (coaches, parents and society) encourage these young people to develop eating patterns that often continue long after their athletic careers have ended. We now have sufficient Knowledge to eliminate this unfortunate practice. Verf.-Referat
