Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of this research was to examine how age impacts physical fitness and soccer skills among players in mixed-age teams. Additionally, the study aimed to explore the connection between body fat percentage, BMI, and physical performance. Methods: The researchers selected 43 pre-pubertal children from an amateur soccer school and placed them in the "Under 10" or "Under 12" groups based on age. To evaluate the players, the researchers conducted tests such as the standing long jump, 20-meter sprint, shuttle dribble, and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1 modified for Children (YYIR1C). Results: The results indicated that older and more experienced children performed better in physical and soccer-specific evaluations (p < 0.0001). Moreover, higher body fat levels harmed physical exertion and soccer-specific performance (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Therefore, mixed-age teams may not be the most effective solution for maximizing soccer school schedules, and nutritional guidance should be incorporated into soccer school programs.

年龄和身体构成对“混龄”球队青春期前球员体能和足球技术的影响

目的:本研究的主要目的是研究年龄对混合年龄球队球员身体素质和足球技术的影响。此外，该研究旨在探索体脂率、身体质量指数和身体表现之间的联系。方法:选取某业余足球学校43名青春期前儿童，按年龄分为“10岁以下”和“12岁以下”两组。为了评估运动员，研究人员进行了立定跳远、20米短跑、穿梭运球和儿童溜溜球间歇恢复测试1级(YYIR1C)等测试。结果:结果表明，年龄较大和经验丰富的儿童在身体和足球专项评估中表现更好(p <0.0001)。此外，较高的体脂水平会损害体力消耗和足球专项表现(p<0.001)。结论:因此，混合年龄团队可能不是最大化足球学校时间表的最有效解决方案，营养指导应纳入足球学校计划。
