The somato-physiological characterization in sport is an essential tool to assist the elabora- tion of the training planning. Therefore, the present study aimed to (a) characterize the so- matotype and physiological profile in young female futsal players, (b) provide a comparison between playing positions, and (c) test associations between dependent measures. Eighteen Brazil state-level players from the under-17 category participated in the study. Anthropome- tric measurements (body mass, height and somatotype determination), aerobic fitness (mul- tistage 20 m shuttle run test) and the ability to perform repetitive sprints (Running Anaerobic Sprint Test) were assessed. These procedures were divided into two 24 h apart sessions. A Bayesian statistical approach was adopted. The results indicated the predominance of the endo-ectomorph somatotype for players and a negative and moderate correlation between body fat and maximum rate of oxygen (VO2MAX) (r = -.54; BF10 = 3.34). Despite the association between a high percentage of body fat and poor performance, the physiological profile presen- ted by the athletes seems to be enough for futsal demands (VO2MAX: 34.73 ml.kg-1.min-1; maxi- mum power: 371.16 W; and maximum speed: 21.1 km.h-1). Interestingly, participants presented a homogeneous somatotype and physiological profile across playing positions.

Abstract
The somato-physiological characterization in sport is an essential tool to assist the elabora- tion of the training planning. Therefore, the present study aimed to (a) characterize the so- matotype and physiological profile in young female futsal players, (b) provide a comparison between playing positions, and (c) test associations between dependent measures. Eighteen Brazil state-level players from the under-17 category participated in the study. Anthropome- tric measurements (body mass, height and somatotype determination), aerobic fitness (mul- tistage 20 m shuttle run test) and the ability to perform repetitive sprints (Running Anaerobic Sprint Test) were assessed. These procedures were divided into two 24 h apart sessions. A Bayesian statistical approach was adopted. The results indicated the predominance of the endo-ectomorph somatotype for players and a negative and moderate correlation between body fat and maximum rate of oxygen (VO2MAX) (r = -.54; BF10 = 3.34). Despite the association between a high percentage of body fat and poor performance, the physiological profile presen- ted by the athletes seems to be enough for futsal demands (VO2MAX: 34.73 ml.kg-1.min-1; maxi- mum power: 371.16 W; and maximum speed: 21.1 km.h-1). Interestingly, participants presented a homogeneous somatotype and physiological profile across playing positions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
