Relationship of Anthropometric variables with speed ball in soccer

Abstract

In Soccer the possibility of generating static shots with high speed can determine the outcome of a game to reduce the chance of reaction of the goal keeper. This research study analyzes the relationship of body proportionality and body composition with maximum ball speed shooting of soccer. 17 male players under the age of 20 (U-20) of Barinas State (173.2 cm ± 6.9 and 65 ± 7.8 kg) were evaluated.The anthropometric variables were collected according to ISAK protocol. For the assessment of proportionality and body composition scalable method was used being compared through an ontogenetic sport prototype.A test of peak ball velocity was applied in the static shot without focusing on precision using a doopler radar to record speeds. The results show that there is a significant direct correlation ( -.05) were found for the Z indices of lateral tibial height, lateral tibial length trochanter or for the lean thigh area with the maximum speed of the ball.Therefore, the lower accumulation of adipose tissue and greater height of the lower limb are considered variables related to the generation of higher velocities with the ball.
