Ssessment of the parameters of physical development of young football players aged 14-15 years.

Abstract

Purpose —to establish indicators of the physical development of young football players aged 14-15. Material and methods:according to the goal and tasks set, the research program included methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, methods of studying anthropometric characteristics, methods of mathematical processing of results. The study was carried out with the football players of the team of FC «Arena»Kharkiv –participants in the championship of the CYFLof Ukraine. The study involved 24 football players aged 14-15. The study was conducted in the Kharkiv regional medical and sports dispensary. The work was carried out in three stages. At the first stage, the analysis, study and generalization ofscientific and methodological literature were carried out. At the second stage, a survey of 14-15-year-old football players was carried out. At the third stage of this study, weight-height indices and proportionality indices were calculated. Results:the article presents the anthropometric indicators of young football players aged 14-15. It has been established that 14-15-year-old football players have characteristic overall body dimensions (body length and weight, chest circumference at rest, on inhalation and exhalation), weight-height indices (Yarcho-Kraupe, Rohrer and Quetelet indices) and proportionality indices (Erisman and Livy indices), which were within the age norm for the players of this group. The body weight of the footballers in this group was55,8±1,8 kg, body length –169,1±2,0 cm, circumference of the chest at rest –80,8±1,2 cm, circumference of the chest on inspiration –86,5±1,1 cm, circumference of the chest on expiration is 78,9±1,2 cm. For football players of 14-15 years old, the average index of the Yarkho-Kraupe index was 329,0±8,4 g/cm, the Rohrer index –11,5±0,3 c.u, the Quetelet index –19,4±0,4 c.u, Erisman index –-3,8±1,1 cm, Livy index –47,8±0,6%.Conclusions:the data of the conducted study testify to the differences in morphological parameters, weight-height indices and proportionality indices among young football players aged 14-15.
