The Advantageous Correlation Between Anthropometry and Physical Fitness in Amateur Soccer Players

Objective: This study aims to analyze the closeness of the relationship between body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) with physical fitness in amateur soccer players. Materials and methods: There were 31 participants, all male soccer players between the ages of 18 and 22. The research design w...

description Objective: This study aims to analyze the closeness of the relationship between body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) with physical fitness in amateur soccer players. Materials and methods: There were 31 participants, all male soccer players between the ages of 18 and 22. The research design was a cross-sectional study. The statistical analysis was the Pearson correlation test (p<0.05). Results: The average value and category of speed (3.59 seconds) and less (>4.6 seconds), leg muscle power (69.42 cm) and very good (62-69 cm), muscle endurance (28.90 times) in good category (20-28 times), the average anaerobic endurance was 50.23 seconds with a moderate category (49.90-55.29 seconds), the average agility was 13.60 seconds with a less category (<25 seconds), and the average flexibility was 25.22 cm with category (>25 cm). The average value of abdominal muscle endurance was 38.87 times in a moderate category (30-49 times). The average aerobic capacity was 31.47 mL/kg/min in a moderate category (27-45 mL/kg/min). Pearson correlation analysis showed a weak negative correlation between BW and BMI with speed, anaerobic endurance, agility, and flexibility. On the other hand, a weak positive correlation was found between BW and BMI with leg muscle power, muscle endurance, abdominal muscle endurance, and aerobic capacity. Conclusion: An increase in BW and BMI will be followed by a reduction in speed, anaerobic endurance, agility, and flexibility. Otherwise, an increase in BW and BMI will be continued by a rise in leg muscle power, muscle endurance, abdominal muscle endurance, and aerobic capacity.
