Abstract:Purpose:The main aim of this study was to examine and analyse the body composi-tion of young soccer players across different age groups.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 126 young soccer players divided into age categories: U15 – 53 players (age=14.68±0.47); U17 – 51 players (age=16.47±0.50); U19 – 22 players (age=18.05±0.38). The subjects’ height was mea-sured using an anthropometer, while their body composition was measured using the TANITA BC-420MA digital scale. Results: On average, soccer players in the U15 group had significantly lower body height, weight, body mass index and fat free mass than U17 and U19 players, but had a higher percentage of body fat (p < 0.05). In addition to the percent of body fat mass, which tends to significantly decrease with age, the results also demonstrate significant non-linear increases in body height, weight, and lean body composition concurrent with the players’ ages.Conclusion:These results indicate that younger soccer players have lower abso-lute values of morphological characteristics compared to senior players.

Title:Telesna sestava mladih nogometašev
Abstract:Cilj: Glavni cilj te raziskave sta bili proučitev in analiza telesne sestave mladih nogometašev v različnih starostnih skupinah. Metode: Med 126 mladimi nogometaši, razdeljenimi po starostnih kategorijah U15 – 53 igralcev (starost = 14,68 ± 0,47) –, U17 – 51 igralcev (starost = 16,47 ± 0,50) – in U19 – 22 igralcev (starost = 18,05 ± 0,38) –, je bila izvedena presečna študija. Telesna višina vseh udeležencev je bila izmerjena z antropometrom, telesna sestava pa z digitalno tehtnico TANITA BC-420MA. Rezultati: Nogometaši iz skupine U-15 so imeli v povprečju bistveno nižjo telesno višino, težo, indeks telesne mase in maso brez maščobe kot igralci U-17 in U-19, vendar so imeli višji odstotek telesne maščobe (p < 0,05). Poleg odstotka telesne maščobne mase, ki se s starostjo značilno zmanjšuje, rezultati kažejo tudi značilno nelinearno povečanje telesne višine, telesne mase in puste telesne sestave, sočasno s starostjo igralcev.Zaključek: Ti rezultati kažejo, da imajo mlajši nogometaši nižje absolutne vrednosti morfoloških značilnosti v primerjavi s starejšimi.
