The anthropometric profile assessment is an important aspect to consider during the growth stages of youth sport practitioners due to its usefulness in controlling maturity status and overall health. We performed an anthropometric profile evaluation in a sample of youth goalkeepers ( = 42) during a training camp, dividing them into three categories based on their years from peak height velocity (YPHV). We also checked if the selection of goalkeepers was associated with the birth quartile. The results showed that most of the participants' anthropometric parameters followed the normal trend according to the maturation stages. However, several subjects showed an overweight/obese condition and/or high waist circumference. Non-optimal values were found, mostly in the group of goalkeepers around the PHV. In addition, no selection based on birth quartile was seen. Therefore, the anthropometric profile and body composition of youth goalkeepers are physiologically affected by maturity status. However, several subjects were found to be overweight/obese and at cardiometabolic risk, suggesting that children and adolescents, although practicing sport, should pay attention to potentially contributing factors such as the attainment of the recommended levels of physical activity, lowering sedentary time, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
人体测量学特征评估是青少年体育从业者成长阶段需要考虑的一个重要方面，因为它有助于控制成熟度和整体健康状况。我们在一次训练营中对青年守门员（=42 人）进行了人体测量学特征评估，根据他们从高峰身高速度（YPHV）开始的年数将他们分为三组。我们还检查了守门员的选择是否与出生四分位数有关。结果表明，大多数参与者的人体测量参数根据成熟阶段呈现正常趋势。然而，有几个受试者超重/肥胖，且/或腰围过高。主要出现在接近 PHV 的守门员组中发现了非理想值。此外，没有发现基于出生四分位数的选择。因此，青少年守门员的人体测量学特征和身体成分受成熟度的生理影响。然而，有几个受试者超重/肥胖且存在心血管代谢风险，这表明儿童和青少年尽管参加运动，但应该注意可能导致肥胖的因素，如达到推荐的身体活动水平、减少久坐时间和采用健康的生活方式。
