MONTEALEGRE SUAREZ, Diana Paola et al. Anthropometric profile and somatotype in children footballers according to position in the field of play. Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.4, pp.283-291. Epub 13-Out-2020. ISSN 2174-5145. https://dx.doi.org/10.14306/renhyd.23.4.769.
Introduction
The performance of athletes is determined by variables that include physical condition, technical ability, body composition, somatotype and specific anthropometric characteristics according to the position in the field of play, therefore, the present work seeks to identify the anthropometric profile and somatotype in soccer children according to position in the field of play.
Material and Methods
The sample was 240 to which an anthropometric assessment was made following the protocol proposed by the ISAK. The analysis of the information was carried out in the SPSS program, version 23.
Results
Within the results, statistically significant differences were found between the positions and the BMI, body fat and % muscle weight, with the archers being the ones with the highest BMI, % body fat, and weight are the highest, being values significantly higher compared to the other game positions.
Conclusions
It is concluded that variables such as the anthropometric profile and the somatotype are important when choosing and deciding the position of the player in the field of play, since you can enter advantage or disadvantage in some measures such as the size of the archers.
