- Abstract
Physical characteristics are extremely varied in football, but the ability to produce high-intensity efforts and delay fatigue as much as possible in intermittent efforts is very important. There are several studies that analyse these characteristics in professional football but there are fewer that analyse the individual training categories. This study analyses changes for jumping, speed, agility and specific aerobic endurance in footballers of the youth teams of a professional club that plays in the Spanish league. There was an increase in performance level with age, although no significant differences in close age groups were observed, with a plateau in performance in explosive strength and acceleration being noted from 17 years of age and a plateau in speed and agility from 15 years of age.
