Learning Objectives
The course is aimed at the acquisition of theoretical and methodological principles fundamental to master properly the main anthropometric techniques of common use in the outpatient management of a nutritional plan. The course aims at mastering theoretical and practical assessment methodologies applied to estimate anthropometric body composition. Knowledge of the theoretical aspects at the base of each method explained, its limitations, applicability, and the correct interpretation of the measured data, are essential elements of the training course as fundamental to practice as Biologist Nutritionist.
