Development of a sport specific anthropometric calibration model to estimate whole body density of professional football players
There are currently no calibration models that allow whole body density in professional footballers to be estimated. As such, there is a need to develop practical calibration models in order to make sound body composition judgements. The aim of this thesis is threefold. Firstly, to examine the measu...
