Description

This presentation aims to share research that was conducted on collegiate athletes' experiences with and perceptions of body composition testing. From there, we will explore risk of hyper focus on body shape and size, considerations of body composition testing and what folks could do instead, etc.

As a note - the presentation submitted above is a slide deck I presented at another conference. I would tailor the information after presenting the research to this specific conference to make it as relevant as possible to the audience.
