Abstract
Analysis of body composition of professionals based on chronological age and years of
training, soccer is important in the evaluation, diagnosis, prescription and monitoring of
training, allowing you to make proper planning of the conditions physical, and consequently
achieve specific adaptations to improve athletic performance. Objective: To analyze the body
composition of professional footballers based on chronological age and years of training.
Methods: The sample consisted of 95 professional players from League Perú. Chronological
age, years of training, weight, height, 6 skinfolds , % fat, fat mass (MG) and fat-free mass
(FFM) was assessed. Age and years of training were classified into 5 ranks. Descriptive
statistics were performed and two-way ANOVA and Tukey were applied, with a significance
level of 5%. Results: There was significant increase in body weight (5.4 kg) and FFM (4.7 kg)
as a function of chronological age. As the years of training the increased weight (4.41kg) and
MLG (3.99 kg). Significant increases in body weight and MLG are reached in the age range of
26-29 years of age and averaged 12.6 ± 2.2 years of training. Conclusions: Total body mass
and FFM increase with chronological age and years of training. These results suggest
classifying players by age and years of training with the intention of assessing and designing
specific training programs.
