The science of Anthropometry is gaining an increasing number of followers, as it allows for a valid, reliable and cheap assessment of body composition and other interesting variables from the point of view of health and sport. However, not many books have addressed the anthropometric technique from its foundations. This book deals with issues to consider during an anthropometric assessment, such as the physical approach to the subject during the anthropometric assessment, or the factors to consider so that the data obtained are valid and reliable. It also clearly and concisely addresses the approach to body composition with anthropometry, what somatotype is, and how it is interpreted, and how anthropometry can be used to obtain proportionality values, which are very useful for the detection of sporting talents. Finally, the application of anthropometry in two of the fields where anthropometry is most used: the field of sport from the basics to elite sport, and health. All of this is conducted under the perspective of two of the world's leading experts in kinanthropometry, with the goal for the reader to acquire knowledge on every aspect of anthropometry, from the basics to in-depth knowledge of this science.

Sports technological tools and innovations are gaining increasing significance in amateur, elite, and health-related sports. Sports technology refers to the application of scientific and technical principles, along with innovative technologies, to enhance athletic performance, increase safety, and consequently optimize the overall sporting experience. This involves the design, development, and utilization of equipment, devices, systems, and software specifically tailored for athletic purposes. This textbook aims to encompass the broad diversity of sports technology by featuring contributions from over 30 authors within their respective specialized fields, summarizing the latest insights concisely. The work is structured into five main sections: Data Acquisition Systems, Sports Equipment and Materials, Diagnostics, Evaluation and Communication, and Selected Fields of Application. Students with a connection to sports science gain a comprehensive understanding of sports technology supported by a carefully designed concept that facilitates easy delivery of learning content. Digital learning cards (SN Flashcards) reinforce the learning effect and ensure optimal exam preparation. For advanced learners, in-depth discussions on topics such as tracking data, digital training assistants, sports floor characteristics, virtual reality in sports, smartphone apps, and diagnostic tools offer additional value. The Editor Prof. Dr. Daniel Memmert is the Managing Director and Professor at the Institute of Exercise Training and Sport Informatics at the German Sport University Cologne. He is the editor and author of numerous textbooks, focusing on exercise science, sports psychology, and computer science in sports. His institute organizes two certificate programs (Match Analysis Team Cologne / Sports Director in Youth Performance and Amateur Soccer) as well as the first international postgraduate program in 'Match Analysis'.
