Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between body composition and physıcal
performance parameters in amateur soccer players. Material and Methods: Sixteen healthy amateur male
soccer players (Age: 25.78±2.7 years, height: 180.0±6.1cm, body weight: 76.80±3.4kg,) voluntarily participated
in this study. Soccer team were assessed for total body and segmental estimates of body composition using dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Vertical jump performance tests, squat jump (SJ), active jump (AJ) and
endurance performances were determined by the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 test (Yo-Yo IR1).
Relationships between body composition and physıcal performance parameters were analyzed with pearson
correlation coefficient. Probability level was ≤0.05. Results & Discussion: As a result of statistical analyses,
there was a significant negative correlation between, SJ and CMJ percentage of leg fat (% LF) and leg fat kg
(LF). There was also a significant negative correlation between Yo-Yo IR1 body fat (BF), leg fat (LF), arm fat
mass (AFM) and trunk fat mass (TFM). No significant correlation was seen among Yo-Yo IR1, SJ and CMJ
with other total/segmental body composition. Conclusion: Results indicated that increased total/segmental body
fat might be a detriment to the SJ, CMJ and Yo-Yo IR1 performance in soccer players. It is suggested that
coaches should not allow soccer players to rise in body fat for the physical performance loss.
