Morphological Characteristics and Bilateral Differences of Youth U13, U15, U17 and U19 Male Football Players

An anthropometric and body composition analysis was conducted on 123 competitive young male football players of different age groups (U13; U15; U17 & U19) with at least 4 years training load. 3D measurement were performed by the NX-16 ([TC]2, scanner Cary, North Carolina). Body measured bioelectrical impedance InBody 720 (Biospace Ltd.). Anthropometric characteristics among asymmetries between left right side upper lower limbs analysed for treated groups. The results showed differences in variables all observed (Height, Weight, Basal Metabolic Rate, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Fat Percent Fat, Abdominal Obesity Degree, Mass Index, Lean Free Mass). also that group U13 differed statistically four (from 7) paired (Arm Leg Forearm Girth Calf Girth), U15 three (Upper Arm Girth, Thigh five Upper Girth) U19 Girth). All calf girth variables. Puberty time probably had an impact results, future research more focus should be placed puberty
