[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the somatotype and physical characteristic differences among elite youth soccer players. [Subjects and Methods] In the present study, we evaluated twenty-two Korean youth soccer players in different playing positions. The playing positions were divided into forward (FW), midfielder (MF), defender (DF), and goalkeeper (GK). The participants' lean body mass (LBM), fat free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and basal metabolic rate (BMR) were measured and their somatotype determined according to the Heath-Carter method. [Results] The youth soccer players had twelve ectomorphic, eight mesomorphic, and two central predominant types. The DFs were taller than, but otherwise similar in physical characteristics to the FWs and MFs. The GKs were taller and heavier than the other players; however, their somatotype components were not significantly different. LBM, FFM, and BMR were significantly higher in GKs than in FWs and MFs. Although LBM, FFM, and BMR values between GKs and DFs showed large differences, they were not statistically significant. [Conclusion] The present study may contribute to our understanding of the differences in somatotype and body composition of Korean youth soccer players involved in sports physiotherapy research.
[目的] 本研究旨在调查精英青少年足球运动员的体型和身体特征差异。[对象与方法] 在本研究中，我们评估了22名不同场上位置的韩国青少年足球运动员。场上位置分为前锋（FW）、中场球员（MF）、后卫（DF）和守门员（GK）。测量了参与者的瘦体重（LBM）、去脂体重（FFM）、脂肪量（FM）和基础代谢率（BMR），并根据希思 - 卡特法确定他们的体型。[结果] 青少年足球运动员中有12例偏外胚层体型、8例偏中胚层体型和2例中央型为主的体型。后卫比前锋和中场球员更高，但在身体特征上其他方面相似。守门员比其他球员更高更重；然而，他们的体型组成没有显著差异。守门员的LBM、FFM和BMR显著高于前锋和中场球员。尽管守门员和后卫之间的LBM、FFM和BMR值差异很大，但无统计学意义。[结论] 本研究可能有助于我们理解参与运动物理治疗研究的韩国青少年足球运动员在体型和身体成分方面的差异。
