TL;DR: This abridged version of the "Anthropometric Standardisation Reference Manual" contains the heart of the original manual - complete procedures for 45 anthropometric measurements.
Abstract: This edition of "Anthropometric Standardisation Reference Manual" contains 45 anthropometric measurement procedures, and also addresses special issues such as reliability and accuracy and details various applications. It can be used as a supplemental text for courses in fitness assessment and exercise prescription, kinanthropometry, body composition, nutrition, and exercise physiology. The text is also suitable as a reference for exercise scientists.
TL;DR: There is clearly a need for improved teaching of maths to those who go on to careers in science and medicine, but I am not convinced that the approach taken here is helpful.
Abstract: science to teach maths at a junior school level. If health fitness professionals an odd, and certainly ungrammatical, term do not know maths by this stage in their career, then it is too late. There are other concerns, such as the lack of progression as one reads through the book: in the last chapter as in the first, simple conversions, as from kg to lbs, are worked through. In summary, I would find it difficult to recommend this book to my students. There is clearly a need for improved teaching of maths to those who go on to careers in science and medicine, but I am not convinced that the approach taken here is helpful.
