AB Part  VI  of  this  book  covers  a  topic  that  is  of  major  concern  for  many  of  the  clients  with  whom  health  and  fitness  professionals  work  on  a  daily  basis.  The  latest  information  on  the  science  of  obesity  is  covered  in  Chapter  22,  with  a  focus  on  the  adverse  health  consequences  of  this  condition.  Chapter  23  provides  current  information  on  body  composition  assessment  techniques  and  focuses  on  the  accuracy  and  limitations  of  each  technique.  Chapter  24,  the  final  chapter  in  this  section,  provides  information  on  the  components  of  a  successful  weight-management  program.  Understanding  behavior  change  is  a  major  focus  of  Chapter  24  because  it  plays  such  a  critical  role  in  helping  people  adopt  effective  weight-management  strategies.  The  synergistic  role  of  sound  exercise  and  nutritional  programming  is  also  highlighted,  as  are  practical  suggestions  for  relapse  prevention.
