Resumen

Introducción: Existe un interés creciente en la relación entre la maduración biológica, el efecto de la edad relativa y el rendimiento deportivo en el fútbol. Según el efecto relativo de la edad y la maduración de su cohorte, los jugadores de fútbol relativamente mayores pueden verse favorecidos para ser seleccionados para equipos de alto nivel. Por lo tanto, el presente estudio examinó el efecto de la madurez y la edad relativa en las pruebas antropométricas y de rendimiento físico. Métodos: un estudio transversal que involucró a 82 niños (edad M: 13,4 ± 1,1; masa corporal M: 51,9 ± 9,9; altura corporal: 162 ± 10,5; porcentaje de grasa corporal: 9,7 ± 1,1) fueron evaluados para antropometría, flexibilidad, mano, y la fuerza de las piernas, y el rendimiento del salto con contramovimiento. Se utilizó la determinación de la velocidad máxima de altura (PHV) para estimar el estado de madurez. Las distribuciones de fechas de nacimiento se clasificaron en cuatro cuartiles (enero-marzo, Q1; abril-junio, Q2; julio-septiembre, Q3; octubre-diciembre, Q4). Se realizó un análisis MANOVA en todas las evaluaciones antropométricas y de rendimiento físico para examinar las diferencias dentro de los grupos de edad y los grupos de estado de madurez. Se revelaron diferencias entre todos los grupos, con puntuaciones altas en el grupo de mayor edad (Sub-15). Resultados: La maduración biológica influye en las diferencias en la evaluación del rendimiento físico y antropométrico con un efecto significativo en los futbolistas de maduración temprana en comparación con los de maduración tardía. Los jugadores maduros tempranos estaban sobrerrepresentados y estadísticamente tenían mejores resultados antropométricos y de rendimiento físico. Conclusión: Sin embargo, no hubo una representación significativa de jugadores en el primer cuarto en comparación con el tercero y cuarto para todas las evaluaciones antropométricas y de rendimiento. Los hallazgos actuales pueden usarse para cuantificar y controlar los datos de rendimiento de los jugadores de fútbol ajustados a los requisitos biológicos utilizados en el proceso de entrenamiento.
