Does relative age distribution influence the physical and anthropometric profiles of drafted under 18 Australian footballers? An investigation between the 2010 to 2013 seasons
(Beeinflusst das relative Alter von australischen Footballspielern im Altersbereich U18, die als Talente erkannt wurden, die physischen und anthropometrischen Profile? Eine Untersuchung in den Wettkampfsaisons 2010-2013)
This study examined if the relative birth distribution of drafted under 18 (U18) Australian football (AF) players influenced their physical and anthropometric profile. Birthdate, physical (vertical jump, agility, 20m sprint, 20m multistage fitness test) and anthropometric (standing height, body mass) data were obtained from U18 players drafted into the Australian Football League between 2010 to 2013 (n = 212).
Birth distribution did not change across quartile (÷23 = 5.09, P > 0.05) or half year (÷21 = 2.50, P > 0.05). Physical and anthropometric profiles did not differ according to quartile or half year (P > 0.05). Relative birth distribution did not appear to influence draft success or physical/anthropometric profile. This study provides insight into a phenomenon not always observed in team sport.
