GONCALVES, Luiz Guilherme Cruz; AQUINO, Rodrigo Leal de Queiroz Thomaz; FILHO, Hugo Tourinho  and  PUGGINA, Enrico Fuini. Profile characterization of young soccer players: an analysis of the technical skills and anthropometric variables. Motri. [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.2, pp.27-37.

The objective of this study was to verify the anthropometric variables, biological maturation and technical characteristics of young soccer players. 151 players in the lower grades were evaluated for height, body mass and skinfold, Growth Rate Peak (PVC) and specific tests. Differences in sub-09 to under-13 for% fat were found, and under-09 to under-14 to height, body mass, fat mass and pass the wall. PVC was different between the categories under-09 to under-16. In addition, there were differences between the sub-09 to under-13 for ball driving and sub-09 to U-15 in ball control. It is concluded that the anthropometry, maturation and technical skill may be influenced by the growth and development inherent in childhood and adolescence.
