Abstract:
The aim of the current study was to evaluate field-based physical
performance of under 16 years (U16) elite and sub-elite soccer
players. Forty elite (n = 20) and sub-elite (n = 20) soccer players
were enrolled and tested for countermovement jump (CMJ), 10-m
sprint and agility, in terms of sprint with 90° turns (S90), S90 with
ball, Slalom, Slalom with ball, and reactive agility (RAT). Statistical
and practical significant differences were observed in CMJ, S90
and RAT between elite and sub-elite. Elite players exhibited a likely
better performance in Slalom, Slalom with ball and S90 with ball
despite a non-significant difference by level of play. Concerning
sprint ability, both groups showed similar performance in the 10-
m sprint. Countermovement jump and agility tests are field-based
physical assessments recommended to better distinguish between
U16 elite and sub-elite soccer players.
