摘要：One hundred fifty-two soccer players participated in this study playing in A, A2 and youth teams between the ages of 14-20 (mean age 17.48 ±2.89 yrs). Measured variables of height, weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, flexibility, speed, agility, anaerobic power, anaerobic capacity, aerobic capacity were compared among the groups of playing positions which is defined as goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and strikers and among age groups separated as ≤ 16 and ≥17 ages. The differences among positions analyzed with the One Way ANOVA test and pairwise comparisons between groups using the Bonferroni test. Age groups were compared with the independent samples t-test. Goalkeepers’ weight and height were higher than strikers and body fat percentages were higher than all other positions. In ≥17, goalkeepers 30m sprint time is slower than all other groups. The maximal oxygen uptakes of midfielders were higher than strikers. Flexibility, agility, anaerobic power, anaerobic capacity, recovery values were not significantly different among positions. For all these variables ≥17 had higher and better performance values than ≤16. There are no determinant performance differences among the positions except for goalkeepers. It may be profitable to evaluate goalkeepers independently from other positions. It can be said that motor and physical differences are considered to be more evaluable in more distinct periods starting with age 17 and onwards. It may be an accurate approach for deciding the players’ positions and guiding them accordingly after that age level.
