Abstract EN

This study aimed to identify the importance of body measurements in the sports field in general, and in football in particular, and their relationship with some physical characteristics which are among the performance requirements in all sports; either individual or collective.

Our study sample was the junior category, which is the stage of the selection of talents according to the physical and skill potentials and abilities.

Therefore, the research sample consisted of 38 players from the junior football category, aged between (9-12) years who were subjected to some physical measurements (height, weight), and some physical tests (Vertical jump, transverse jump from stability, trunk flexibility).

After conducting statistical processing and presenting, analyzing and discussing the results, the researcher reached a set of conclusions including: 1- There is a direct correlation between the height index and the explosive power of the lower limbs among junior footballers (9-12) years old.

2- There is a direct correlation between the weight index and the explosive power of the lower limbs among junior footballers (9-12) years old.

3- There is a direct correlation between the height index and the strength characteristic of speed among junior footballers (9-12) years old.

4- There is a direct correlation between the weight index and the strength characteristic of speed among junior footballers (9-12) years old.

5- There is an inverse correlation between the height index and flexibility among junior footballers (9-12) years old.

6- There is an inverse correlation between weight and flexibility index among junior footballers (9-12) years old.
