Antropometría: Fundamentos para la aplicación e interpretación
La antropometría es una ciencia que cada vez cuenta con más adeptos, por permitir una valoración válida, fiable y con un equipamiento económico de la composición corporal y otras variables interesantes desde el punto de vista de la salud y el deporte. No obstante, son pocos los libros que han abordado la técnica antropométrica desde los fundamentos. En el presente libro se tratan cuestiones a tener en cuenta durante la valoración antropométrica tales como el abordaje del sujeto en la medición antropométrica o los factores para que los datos obtenidos sean válidos y fiables. También se trata de manera clara y concisa el abordaje de la composición corporal con antropometría, qué es el somatotipo y cómo se interpreta, y cómo se puede utilizar la antropometría para obtener valores de proporcionalidad, muy interesante para la detección de talentos deportivos. Finalmente, se aborda la aplicación de la antropometría en dos de los campos donde más se utiliza: el deporte de élite y la salud. Todo bajo la visión de dos de los mayores expertos mundiales en cineantropometría, con el fin de que el lector termine conociendo todo lo que un antropometrista debe saber.

The quinqui films, produced and released on a shoestring budget, were nonetheless immensely popular, although never fully considered as part of the national film production in academic circles due to their “B” nature and low quality. These films encapsulate many of the concerns that Spaniards were facing (unemployment, class conflict and disparity, wild economic growth, increasing violence and...
