Were all submitted to anthropometric measurements and then were carried the calculations of body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%), Skinfolds sum (?9DC) and somatotype. It was observed that goalkeepers differ significantly (p ? 0.05) in body mass, BF% and ?9DC for other positions. The goalkeepers showed profile endomorph-mesomorph, the defender mesomorph- balanced, while the winger and pivot, endo-mesomorph. Concluded that the goalkeepers were significant differences in BF% when compared to other positions and showed significant differences in somatotype compared to other positions, the same was observed in defenders when compared with pivots.Downloads
