Abstract:
The aims of this study were to report the relative age effect in different
competitive levels and field positions and to analyse the differences
within and between different competitive levels and field positions.
Data for 203 young soccer players (14.2 ± 1.1 years) included anthropometrics
and physical performance (Countermovement jump [CMJ],
30-m sprint, T-test and Yo-Yo IR1). Their competitive level and their
field position were registered. The percentage of relative older players
(1stHY) was higher in the better competitive levels (L1: 80.6%, p <.001;
L2: 68.2%, p <.001 and L3: 58.5%, p <.01), but it was similar between
field positions (DF: 68.1%, p <.001; MF: 69.6%, p <.001 and FW: 67.2%,
p <.001). Anthropometrical and physical performance differences were
found between players of different competitive levels but not between
relative older and younger players in each competitive level and field
position. The relative age effect is higher in the better competitive
levels. Anthropometrical and physical performance differences
between players are not due to the relative age but to the level of
competition. Relatively older players do not seem to be more likely to
be selected for specific field positions. The causes of relative age effect
need more research.
