Abstract

During the 2017-2018 season and following the protocol of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry, the body composition, somatotype and proportionality of 25 female elite Spanish soccers players aged 15-18 were evaluated (15.48 ± 1.05). The percentage of body fat (%BF) analyzed by anthropometry was in the range of 14.21% - 17.30% and by BIA between 24.20%- 29.63%. The lowest adiposity corresponded to female wing players and the highest to female goalkeepers and strikers. The average somatotype was 3.67-4.10-1.90 for the whole sample; in the under 18 years category (3.10-4.33-1.82) the somatotypic dispersion was lower and the mesomorphia higher than in the under 16 years category (3.20-3.97-1.95). In proportionality analysis, it showed that the players, especially the under 18 players, had lower subcutaneous skinfolds and higher perimeters in the lower limb than the Phantom model.

Keywords: Kinanthropometry; Body composition; Body proportionality; Women´s football, Phantom.
