Abstract

The contents of these Proceedings reflect clearly the wide range of interests in the discipline. The papers published have been carefully selected and include studies of body composition, somatotype, growth, paediatry, female and athletic populations, fitness, muscle structure and function. Clinical and methodological issues are also considered. Die Autoren und ihre Beiträge sind: SECTION I - BODY COMPOSITION: 1.
