The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and body composition experts Timothy Lohman and Laurie Milliken have teamed up to bring you a complete practical guide to performing body composition assessments. ACSM’s Body Composition Assessment provides you with foundational information and scientific research that can be applied in the fields of medicine, exercise science, nutrition, growth and development and geriatrics. This comprehensive guide delves into the methodology of a number of techniques. These include DXA, BIA, ultrasound, underwater weighing, ADP, total body water and BMI. The text uncovers the sources of error that are common in each measurement technique. Researchers and clinicians will benefit from the book’s detailed descriptions of methods for use in both laboratory and field settings. As well as protocols for the standardization of each method and their advantages and limitations. The text thoroughly examines the health implications of body composition by looking at the relationships between chronic disease and total body fat, fat distribution, muscle mass and bone density. It also gives you the ability to assess changes in a person’s body composition over time.

The Science of Long-Term Weight Loss provides a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to help clients and patients achieve long-term weight loss success. Taking into consideration decades of research from experts in the field, it embraces a multidisciplinary approach and use of the complexity science approach to better understand the issues surrounding long-term weight loss.The current obesity epidemic, which began in the 1980s and continues into the 21st century, has significantly affected the U.S. population and communities throughout the world. The Science of Long-Term Weight Loss counters the public health crisis with long-term weight loss solutions modified for individual lifestyles (rather than strategies that only offer evidence for short-term success). The text covers a broad range of topics, including food addiction, exercise resistance, night eating syndrome, emotional regulation, continuous care, problem-solving, accountability, and group support.Throughout the text, case studies offer a glimpse into the struggles and successes involved with long-term weight loss. Putting It Into Perspective and Expert Perspective sidebars provide additional context to complex topics, and Do You Know? elements call out important information for readers. Each chapter contains objectives and summaries to aid in knowledge retention.The Science of Long-Term Weight Loss begins by discussing the origins of the obesity epidemic and theoretical strategies to support weight loss. The authors use the complexity science approach to explain the factors that contribute to the prevalence of obesity, such as genetics and public policy. The text goes on to explore behavioral influences on body composition, such as physical activity and nutritional intake. Sustainable, long-term weight loss solutions and the prevention of weight regain are studied in depth, and societal factors such as the environment and food production are considered. Health care practitioners will find alternative approaches to weight loss that can be customized to the individual as well as practical advice to achieve client goals.As a resource for understanding the multifaceted issues surrounding obesity and weight loss, this book will be invaluable to researchers and practitioners in fields studying or encountering obesity, including registered dietitians and nutritionists, as well as fitness and health professionals working with clients or patients who need long-term strategies for weight management.Earn continuing education credits/units!
