Abstract
Abstract The number of studies related to soccer has been growing exponentially in the last years because the modality is considered the most popular in the world. It is known that the development of some specific physical capacities, even in young individuals, is essential to high-level performance and these capacities might be related to anthropometrics variables. The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between body composition and physical capacities in young soccer players. Study participants were athletes from junior categories (under-12 and under-13) belonging to the Soccer Association of Chapecó, Brazil.. Athletes were submitted to agility, (Illinois), vertical jump (Sargent Jump), aerobic condition (TCAR), flexibility and sit-and-reach (Wells Bench) tests, as well as anthropometric assessment. All procedures were performed at UNOESC campus, Chapecó. Statistical analysis consisted of the Spearman’s Rô test, measuring the correlation among variables, additionally, significance level of p<0.05 was adopted. Results showed significantly correlation in agility (p=0.000; ρ=0.530) and vertical jump tests (p=0.003; ρ=-0.437) with body fat percentage. It was concluded that there is relationship between body fat percentage and agility and explosive power of lower limbs.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Kinanthropometry and Human Performance is a journal of Physical Education, Kinesiology, Sport and related areas, whose focus is human movement, being reviewed by an international panel of peers, with emphasis on the measurement of the man in its morphological and functional aspects, as well as conditioning factors of physical performance. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the journal, these areas of study are approached in several contexts, with interactions with social, behavioral, health and environmental aspects. The journal publishes original articles as well as relevant Review/Update articles and Points of View.
