| Course objective | This course aim is an in depth understanding of the scientific rationale of body composition methodologies and their applications by students. Thus, this would assist students to more capably support their target population based on scientific perspective. | |||||
| Learning outcomes |
| |||||
| Course Content | This course would cover laboratory (e. g , dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and field methods (e. g. BIA and anthropometry) of body composition, body composition across the lifespan/gender differences/fitness level differences (ranging from sedentary to athletic population). Along with technical skills, this course will also cover about uses and interpretation of body composition data. | |||||
