Relationship between total and partial body composition with the muscle power of young football players of different ages
Abstract
Body composition is currently one of the most important variables in football, given that it is necessary to have good muscle, bone and fat indexes to perform the motor actions required by the sport. However, how many is the body constitution related to variables such as muscle power? With the intention of answering this question, the objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the total and fractional body composition and the muscular power of young football players. For this, 27 athletes participated of present study, which were separated in two groups, being group 1 (G1) of under-15 with 13 football players (13,1 ± 01 years; 53,46 ± 3,1 kg; 164 ± 2,5 cm) and group 2 (G2) belonging to the under-20 category with 14 athletes (18.3 ± 03 years; 71.83 ± 1.8 kg; 177 ± 1.6 cm). Participants performed anthropometric and body composition with DEXA and Running Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST). As a result, G1 pointed out the highest correlation coefficients, as, for example, 0.952 in the relation between MMT x PPA and 0.900 for MMMI (p<0.01), however G2 indicated only two relations MMT x PMA and MMMI versus PMA with 0.580 and 0.618 respectively for p<0.05. It is concluded that the sub 15 category presented higher values of correlation between the body composition variables and the power values.
