This book outlines best practice protocols for body composition analysis of high-performance athletes and provides guidance on the use of new technologies for anthropometry. While surface anthropometry has traditionally been used to assess body composition through the internationally recognised methodology of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), the recent commercialisation of devices, such as bioelectrical impedance technologies, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), ultrasound, 3D photometry and air-displacement plethysmography (Bod Pod), has led to the non-standardised adoption of new measurement techniques. In this textbook, leading researchers detail standardisation procedures for each technology: in terms of athlete preparation, test protocols, test reporting, equipment calibration and data interpretation. Each chapter covers a different tool: how it works, what it is used to measure, and what the issues are surrounding its validity, practicality and reliability. This book provides an essential reference for device technicians and sport practitioners, ensuring that high-performance athletes are afforded accurate and comparable body composition information to guide their training routines.

This unique book is the first of its kind to specifically explore the science, medicine, challenges and successful experiences of assisting those who must perform and thrive in hot conditions, with an eye toward maximizing both performance and safety. Beginning with both human and comparative physiology as it relates to coping with the heat, key concepts are subsequently elaborated, including heat acclimatization, work-to-rest ratios, hydration, sleep, the effects of altitude, and the use of drugs and supplements. The sections that follow discuss heat-related considerations in individual and team sports and other populations, monitoring techniques, and medical and legal issues. Athletes, warfighters and laborers are often forced to perform intense physical activity in the heat as a part of their jobs or lifestyle. The process of properly preparing for this challenge is multifaceted and often not fully understood or utilized. Sport and Physical Activity in the Heat is an excellent resource for team physicians, high-level coaches, serious athletes, athletic trainers, exercise scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, industrial hygienists, military commanders, or anyone involved in the process of maximizing performance and safety during exercise in the heat for the athlete, warfighter, or laborer.

At the end of the 20th century, beach handball started capturing the attention of more and more people worldwide. Beach handball combines elements of indoor handball with free, creative game actions, the benefits of the sun, the beach, and the joy of playing outside. This book familiarizes readers with the philosophy and underlying concept of beach handball. Using a holistic teaching approach, it also demonstrates the advantages of this sport for beginners. For the benefit of coaches and teachers, the book contains tips on coaching behavior, organizing training, and how to design training/teaching sessions in a methodical didactic way. Numerous photos and streamable videos support putting theory into practice. As officials and referees are instrumental in the general development of the game, they have also been given due consideration in this work. Overall, this is a comprehensive introduction to a new sport covering all the information anyone needs to start playing beach handball. About the Authors Dr. Frowin Fasold is a sports scientist and coach with extensive experience in indoor and beach handball. He is the head of handball-related studies and teaching at the German Sport University Cologne and has published several works on team sports. Alexander Gehrer is one of the pioneers of beach handball at a national and international level. In the past two decades, he has had several functions connected to this sport (national coach for Germany, beach handball delegate for EHF and IHF; IHF Beach Handball Working Group). Prof. Dr. Stefanie Klatt is the head of the Department of Cognitive and Team/Racket Sport Research at the German Sport University Cologne. She has conducted several projects focusing on a variety of themes (e.g., exercise training, perceptual-cognitive processes) including (beach) handball players and referees.

Van 2017 tot en met 2023 voerde het Onderzoeksplatform Sport (OPS) in opdracht van de Vlaamse overheid onderzoek naar sport en beweging vanuit een beleidsperspectief. Het OPS focuste op vijf topics, waarvan we in dit boek de belangrijkste onderzoeksresultaten bundelen.Voor het eerste onderwerp Sportparticipatie, bespreken we op basis van de Participatiesurvey (PaS) het sportgedrag van adolescenten en volwassenen in Vlaanderen. Enerzijds worden de trends in sportbeoefening en anderzijds de invloed van de coronaperiode op de sportbeoefening in kaart gebracht. Vervolgens staat de onderzoekslijn Motorische ontwikkeling centraal. Hier bestuderen we hoe de basiscompetenties van sportende kinderen gefaciliteerd en geoptimaliseerd kunnen worden. Daarnaast zoomen we in op de zogenaamde beleidsfocussen van het sportfederatiedecreet. Bij Jeugdsport ligt de focus op een kwaliteitsvol clubsportaanbod voor kinderen en jongeren. De beleidsfocus Innovatie toont aan wat er nodig is om sportfederaties te wapenen om nog relevanter te worden. Tot slot bekijken we Laagdrempelig sporten. Hoe kunnen we participatiedrempels wegwerken opdat zoveel mogelijk mensen toegang tot de sportclub krijgen?Het boek heeft als doel om de bevindingen op een toegankelijke wijze te presenteren aan professionals die werkzaam zijn bij sportdiensten, sportfederaties en andere organisaties van zowel de overheid, het maatschappelijke middenveld als de commerciële sector. Op deze manier hopen we een bijdrage te plegen tot het realiseren van een volwaardig en duurzaam sport- en beweegbeleid in Vlaanderen.
