Anthropometry and Biomotor of Various position Young Football Athletes: Does It Affect Performance?

Abstract

Abstract The research background was the importance of anthropometry and biomotors for soccer players. This study aims to analyze the relationship between anthropometry and bio-motoric on the performance of SSB KU-12 players in Central Java. The population in this study was 700 players. The sample in this study was 201 players. Samples were drawn using the Purposive Sampling technique. There were nine anthropometric components and six bio-motoric components. Player performance was measured through performance in each position in the match. The data obtained were processed and tested using descriptive statistics using SPSS version 22. The results of the research showed that the anthropometric components of height and Body Mass Index had a positive effect on player performance. The biomotor components of the 20-meter run, leg strength, and coordination also influence player performance. Meanwhile, the components of body weight, 12-minute running, flexibility, and aerobic endurance do not have a positive effect on player performance. The conclusion was the components of height, Body Mass Index, speed, leg strength, and coordination contribute positively to the performance of SSB KU-12 players in Central Java.
