Abstract

The present work dealt with a quantitative research that aimed to analyze and compare the levels of physical fitness of two soccer teams under 15 in the upper part of the city of Maceió-AL. The sample consisted of students \ athletes between 14 and 15 years of age. The instrument for data collection that we used in this study was the protocol of Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP), based on a system of physical fitness assessment related to the health and sports performance of children and adolescents in the context of school physical education and sport . The data were described by means of a pie chart formed by a circular diagram where the values of each represented statistical category were proportional to the respective frequencies in percentage. The results showed that in the tests the majority of students \ athletes obtained significant results classified as good, very good and excellent in the following tests: 20 meter run (speed), square test (agility) and long jump (muscle strength), already in the following tests: cardiorespiratory (cardiorespiratory fitness) 86% were classified as (weak) and when throwing medicine ball (strength of upper limbs) 56% are also below the protocol average. The study concluded that these students \ athletes from the upper part of the city of Maceió need greater attention with regard to the conditions that involve their performance, mainly in the variable of cardiorespiratory fitness and strength of the upper limbs, thus interfering in their performance football, as students may have a loss in performance during training / games that can be the gateway to their career as a professional athlete.
