The youth ability to perform high-speed running actions such as sprints to win possession of the ball or to pass defending players is believed to be critical to the outcome of soccer matches (Bradley et al., 2009). As such, sprint ability has been reported to be a physical prerequisite for professional soccer players (Cometti et al., 2001; Gissiset al., 2006). The goal of this study was to evaluate the role and association of body weight and height in the performance of motor abilities in youth soccer players. Methods: The subjects of this study were 64 youth soccer players with an average weight 47.5 kg (+/- 7.3 kg) and height 157.3 cm (+/- 7.4cm). Anthropometrics were measured as body height and weight in youth. The subject underwent to perform a speed test (10m and 30m sprint test, 10x5m speed agility test) and standing long jump to evaluate explosive power to lower limbs. Analysis of correlation was performed to find out if there was the association. Result: The results show that; body weight were correlated with motor abilities as follows; body weight with 10m sprint test (r= -0.054; sig= 0.671), body weight with 30m sprint test (r= -0.049; sig= 0.724), body weight with 10x5m agility test (r= -0.025; sig= 0.871), body weight with standing long jump test (r= 0.193; sig= 0.163). While body height were correlated with motor abilities as follows; body height with 10m sprint test (r= -0.051; sig= 0.6), body height with 30m sprint test (r= -0.054; sig= 0.671), body height with 10x5m agility test (r= -0.018; sig= 0.909), body height with standing long jump test (r= 0.215; sig= 0.119). Conclusion: There was a negative but no significant correlation between body weight and body height with motor abilities with regard to speed and agility. There was no significant correlation between body weight and height with explosive power of lower limbs. This results even though found no significance correlation but negative correlation, suggest that coaches should be careful with anthropometrics variables of their players in designing athletic program with regard to speed and agility
The purpose of the present study to examine the relationship of agility and speed ability with selected anthropometric variables of male football players. For the purpose of the present study 30 male football players were randomly selected from Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur (C.G.) and those players who represented this Vishwavidyalaya at inter university tournament. The age group of the subjects was ranged from 21-28 years. The data was collected through applying the tests: 10x4 meter shuttle run test for agility ability, 50 meter dash run test for speed ability and selected anthropometric variables: body weight, standing height, leg length, thigh girth and calf girth. For the relationship of agility and speed ability with selected anthropometric variables mean and standard deviation were used as descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment coefficient test were applied at 0.05 level of significant. All statistical analysis was done using MS Excel and SPSS version 16.0. The result of the present study showed that there was Significant relationship found in selected anthropometric variables (height-r=.384, p<0.05; weight-r=.451, p<0.05; and leg length-r=.371, p<0.05) and insignificant relationship found in thigh girth (r=.332) and calf girth (.353) of Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur (C.G) in relation to agility ability. There was significant relationship found in selected anthropometric variables (height-r=.365, p<0.05; weight-r=.378, p<0.05; leg length-r=.392, p<0.05; and thigh girth-r=.370, p<0.05) and insignificant relationship found in calf girth (r=.231) of Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur (C.G) in relation to speed ability.

Several studies have investigated the association between strength and speed, showing that stronger athletes perform better during sprint performances (Baker & Nance, 1999). Moreover, the aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between sprint performance and anthropometric parameters. Subjects were 32 youth soccer players. The age of participants was 15.1±0.3 years. Speed time (50 m sprint) was evaluated during sprint test, and anthropometric parameters were measured (weight, height, percent body fat). Correlation analysis (Pearson test) was performed to evaluate the correlation between speed and anthropometrics. Results showed correlation between body weight and speed (r=-0.041 Sig=0.834); BMI values and speed (r=0.231; Sig=0.236), body height and speed (r=-0.384; Sig=0.044); percent body fat and speed (r=0.440; Sig=0.019).In conclusion, the results of this study show no significance association between body weight and BMI with sprint performance and significance correlat...

The Relationship between Selected Motor Ability Determinants and Anthropometric Characteristics in Adolescent Athletes from Various Sport2015 •
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between speed, lower extremities explosive power, simple, and complex responses in adolescent athletes from various disciplines. Thirty nine athletes of 16.5 years old, N = 13 sprinters and jumpers, N = 13 soccer players, and N = 13 judokas participated in the experiment. Pearson correlations, a one-way ANOVA and an independent t-test for establishing differences between those three groups of athletes was applied. Additionally the Ward method of hierarchical cluster analysis also was applied. The strong correlation occurred between complex responses and speed; 20 m from standing and 20 m flying start (r = 0.62 and r = 0.65 respectively). In other cases, no strong association was found. The substantial differences between groups occurred in the 20 m run from flying start (t = 5.92) and standing triple jump (t = 4.16). The study indicates that adolescent athletes may need to be assessed differently to a certain extent, inc...

Relationship Between Anthropometric and Physiological Characteristics in Youth Soccer Players2009 •
Introduction: Vertical Jump (VJ) is a good measure of athletic performance and occupational activities. Earlier studies reported conflicting results on anthropometric influence. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between anthropometric characteristics and VJ in national level hockey and cycling players. Materials and Methods: Fifty four (32 males) national level hockey and cycling players of 11-21 years were the volunteers. Following standard protocols, these variables were measured: VJ, Weight (WT), Height (HT), Trochanterion-Height (TH), Sum of Skinfold Thickness (SSF), Lengths [Acromiale-Stylion (AS) and Midstylion-Dactylion (SD)], Breadths [Biacromial (AB), Biiliocristal (IB), Biepicondylar Humerus (HB) and Biepicondylar Femur (FB)], Girths [Relaxed Arm (AG), Mid Thigh (TG) and Calf (CG)], Lower Back and Hamstring Flexibility (SR), Grip [Left Hand Grip (LHG) and Right Hand Grip (RHG)] and Back Strength (BS). International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) procedures were followed for anthropometric variables measurement. Unpaired-'t'-test was used for comparison between genders. Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to evaluate correlates and predictors of VJ respectively. Results: Males had significantly higher VJ, HT, SD, AB and BS; but lower SSF, AS and TG. VJ correlated positively with age, WT, HT, SD, TH, girths, SR and strength among males; but only with WT and LHG among females. After controlling gender, TH and LHG predicted VJ significantly with 69% of total variance. HT, SSF and BS; and LHG were the significant predictors among males and females respectively. Conclusion: Anthropometric and physiological variables like TH, grip, HT, skinfold and BS had major influence on VJ. The result might help in training-monitoring and player’s selection.
