Abstract	[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the somatotype and physicalcharacteristic differences among elite youth soccer players. [Subjects and Methods] In thepresent study, we evaluated twenty-two Korean youth soccer players in different playingpositions. The playing positions were divided into forward (FW), midfielder (MF), defender(DF), and goalkeeper (GK). The participants’ lean body mass (LBM), fat free mass (FFM),fat mass (FM), and basal metabolic rate (BMR) were measured and their somatotypedetermined according to the Heath-Carter method. [Results] The youth soccer players hadtwelve ectomorphic, eight mesomorphic, and two central predominant types. The DFs weretaller than, but otherwise similar in physical characteristics to the FWs and MFs. The GKswere taller and heavier than the other players; however, their somatotype components werenot significantly different. LBM, FFM, and BMR were significantly higher in GKs than inFWs and MFs. Although LBM, FFM, and BMR values between GKs and DFs showed largedifferences, they were not statistically significant. [Conclusion] The present study maycontribute to our understanding of the differences in somatotype and body composition ofKorean youth soccer players involved in sports physiotherapy research.
