Resumen
Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollar un modelo predictivo que identifique la condición física y antropométrica que prediga mejor el estado y las posiciones de juego (N=400; 15–17 años) en el programa de desarrollo del fútbol juvenil masculino etíope. Métodos. La medición antropométrica en términos de masa, altura, grasa corporal relativa y composición corporal derivada se realizó utilizando las pautas de la Sociedad Internacional para el Avance de la Cineantropometría (ISAK). El estado físico se midió mediante pruebas de velocidad (10 metros, 20 metros y 40 metros planos), la prueba de agilidad de Illinois, la prueba de salto vertical y el VO2 máximo estimado. Se utilizó ANOVA factorial para probar las relaciones entre la residencia de los jugadores, la posición y los respectivos términos de interacción. Además, se utilizó el análisis discriminante para identificar las variables que contribuyeron a las selecciones. Resultados. Los jugadores de residencias de campamentos deportivos fueron significativamente diferentes en todos los atributos antropométricos, así como en los atributos de condición física en p<0.05 excepto en el VO2 máx. El porcentaje de jugadores correctamente clasificados en los grupos originales fue ligeramente inferior al porcentaje calculado tras el análisis realizado para la muestra total (86%) y tras el cálculo por posiciones (86-90%). Conclusión. El estudio concluyó que la velocidad evaluada en 10 m, 40 m, salto vertical y altura fueron los atributos discriminados de los jugadores por unidad residencial en los jugadores de fútbol juveniles etíopes. Se recomienda que los atributos antropométricos y de aptitud física sean importantes en la evaluación y selección de jugadores de fútbol jóvenes con potencial para una selección de rendimiento de alto nivel.
