Abstract

Body composition can be thought of in several different terms. Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat percentage (%bf) are the two most popular. The BMI is determined from the height and weight only, but the body fat percentage takes the age and ethnicity into account along with the actual measurement to estimate %bf. Body composition and aerobic and anaerobic fitness among high school age female soccer players has not been studied very extensively. Some studies have been conducted to examine body composition, but did not compare the positions each subject played or include the fitness level.
