Key result
Maturity status physiologically affected the anthropometric profile of 42 youth goalkeepers, with several subjects around peak height velocity showing overweight/obese conditions.
Why the study?
Anthropometric profile assessment is important during youth sport growth stages for controlling maturity status and overall health.
Cross-Sectional (n=42)
Despite sports participation, youth goalkeepers may exhibit overweight/obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors, highlighting the need for comprehensive healthy lifestyle interventions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Maturity-adjusted monitoring may be prudent in youth goalkeepers; leaves open need for prospective cardiometabolic studies.
Credico et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Youth goalkeepers (n=42). Maturity status (years from peak height velocity) vs. Different maturity stages was evaluated on Anthropometric profile and body composition. Maturity status physiologically affected the anthropometric profile of 42 youth goalkeepers, with several subjects around peak height velocity showing overweight/obese conditions.
