“…In the 16-19 group, height (177.6±6.7 cm) was similar to that found in two previous studies (Gil et al, 2007;Tahara et al, 2006), although body mass (81.2±13.9 kg) was higher by approximately 7-10 kg when compared to the findings of those studies. In the under-16 group, height (166.1±12.5 cm) was slightly lower than that reported in a group of under-14 GKs in Hong Kong (169.0±6.0 cm), and body mass (59.6±13.4 kg) was higher than that reported in that group (54.6 ± 7.…”

Nikolaidis, P., Ziv, G., Arnon, M., & Lidor, L. (2015). Physical and physiological attributes of soccer goalkeepers -Should we rely only on means and standard deviations? J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 10(2), pp.602-614. The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to profile physical characteristics and physiological attributes of soccer goalkeepers (GKs) who were divided into three age groups -under 16 years, 16-19, and over 19, and (b) to examine the intra-individual variability among the GKs in each age group on all physical and physiological measurements performed in the study. The GKs underwent a series of physical (e.g., height, body mass, and percentage of body fat) and physiological (e.g., anaerobic profile, power and strength, and flexibility) tests. The three main findings of the current study were: (a) differences in physical characteristics and physiological attributes existed between GKs in the three age groups, (b) intra-individual variability can be found in most physical characteristics and physiological attributes of the GKs, and (c) the intra-individual variability was observed in all three groups. These findings emphasize the need for coaches to examine the intra-individual variability in GKs on their teams. These findings can be used by coaches when planning specific training programs for GKs of different age and skill levels.

“…The fat percentage shows no differences among groups, but the total group mean average (11.53 %) is consistent with young soccer players (10-17 %) [8,11,12,18,20,34,35]; and at the same time it is close to the percentages shown by elite players (10-12 %) [9,23]. Even though there are no differences, there is a tendency for this fat percentage to reduce as age increases (Table 3).…”

Body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis in elite young soccer players: the effects of age and playing position

et al. 2015

Most of the research in body composition of young soccer players has used anthropometric techniques as assessment methods. On the other hand, there is lack of data concerning bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in young soccer players, a method which might provide more detailed information on body composition than the traditional anthropometric techniques. Purpose Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine body composition assessed by BIA of young soccer players with regard to their age and playing position. Methods We examined the body composition of 65 soccer players (age 15.2 ± 0.2 years, weight 63.3 ± 9.4 kg, height 171.5 ± 8.3 cm and training experience of 9.0 ± 1.5 years), classified into three age groups (U14, *13 years; U16, *15 years; and U18, *17 years) and four playing positions (goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards). Results U14 showed lower weight, BMI, intracellular and extracellular water, protein, mineral mass, basal metabolism and all parameters of body balance (p \ 0.001) than U16 and U18. Within each age group, there were differences between forwards and defenders (p \ 0.05). Also, we found differences between defenders of different age groups; defenders in the younger group had lower values in all parameters than their older counterparts and the same trend was noticed in midfielders. Conclusions Our findings with regard to positional differences in weight, height, BMI and body fat percentage were in agreement with previous studies. However, what is novel is that we observed corresponding differences in the cellular level, which should be confirmed by future studies.

“…Some reflections about the search for future champions 5 of these data can be lost in the negligence of their contextual nature. In fact a player can very well compensate for specific shortcomings in one of the competences by being extremely well in another characteristic that is crucial for successful performance (e.g., Tahara et al, 2006).…”

Abstract. The goal of this paper is to look into the issue of talent identification in sports. Over the last decade researchers tried to get a better insight into how future elite athletes can be selected at young age. The findings reported in this review reveal that elite athletes originate from an optimal combination of intrinsic competences (e.g., physical, technical, psychological) and extrinsic, contextual factors (e.g., training, parents). The identification process that focuses on measuring intrinsic competences should be multidimensional in nature. Moreover, valid interpretations of the potential of the youngsters require longitudinal testing. Finally, the best talent detection program will be useless unless a high quality follow-up is guaranteed through well-designed training programmes in which coaches and PE-teachers play a crucial role. Therefore, the interaction and cooperation of coaches and scientists offer great opportunities to advance the knowledge in the area of talent identification. Key words: Talent detection, talent development, sportsRésumé. Talent dans le sport. Quelques réflexions sur la recherche de futurs champions.Le but de ce papier est de se pencher sur la question de l'identification de talent dans le domaine du sport. Au cours de la dernière décennie les chercheurs ont essayé d'obtenir un meilleur aperçu de la façon dont les futurs athlètes d'élite peuventêtre sélectionnés. Les résultats présentés dans cetté etude révèlent que les athlètes d'élite proviennent d'une combinaison optimale des compétences intrinsèques (par exemple, génétique, physique, technique, psychologique) et extrinsèque (les facteurs contextuels comme par exemple, l'entraînement, le coaching, le support des parents). Le processus d'identification qui se concentre sur la mesure des compétences intrinsèques doitêtre de nature multidimensionnelle. En outre, des interprétations valides du potentiel des jeunes exigent une approche longitudinale. Enfin, le meilleur programme de détection de talent sera inutile, sauf si une qualité de suivi est garantie grâceà des programmes de formation bien conçus dans lesquels les entraîneurs et les professeurs d'éducation physique jouent un rôle crucial. Par conséquent, l'interaction et la coopération des entraîneurs et des scientifiques sont essentielles pour faire progresser les connaissances dans le domaine de l'identification des talents.
