Este estudio se propuso evaluar la composición corporal de niños y adolescentes que forman parte de un equipo de fútbol, analizando las diferencias relacionadas con la edad y la posición en el campo. Se utilizó un enfoque descriptivo, observacional y transversal, con una muestra de 113 jugadores masculinos de entre 10 y 19 años, distribuidos en las posiciones de porteros, defensas, mediocampistas y delanteros. Las mediciones antropométricas incluyeron peso, altura, índice de masa corporal (IMC), porcentaje de grasa corporal y masa magra, siguiendo protocolos estandarizados. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en la composición corporal según la edad y la posición. Los jugadores mayores (de 16 a 19 años) presentaron valores más altos de IMC, masa grasa y masa magra en comparación con los más jóvenes (de 10 a 13 años), lo que refleja los cambios biológicos que ocurren durante la pubertad. En cuanto a la posición, los porteros y defensas tenían mayores porcentajes de masa corporal total y grasa, mientras que los delanteros y mediocampistas mostraron una composición más delgada, sugiriendo adaptaciones a las demandas físicas específicas de cada rol.
