Abstract

The increasing participation of young female athletes in sports programs throughout the country promotes the expansion in the rates of health. Theacquisition of routine exercise and healthy habits promoted by thesport in youth can promote higher quality of life. The objective of this study was analyze the Body Mass Index of young footballplayers of a female sports training program in the city of São José dos Campos in basis categories. The results suggest differences between BMI Groups U13 and U15 which may be related to Peak Speed Growth, giving the Group U15 stage a more prominent growth when compared to the other groups. Comparing the distribution percentile to the classification proposed by the World Health Organization observed the highest value for the conditions of healthy individuals, some underweight and any athletewith overweight. We conclude that the use of BMI in basis categories can be a tool for observing the changes in the growth of young athletes, but future studies should include analysis of the peak height velocity and to relate these changes in several categories.
