Sumario:This study aimed to analyze the anthropometric profile of youth yeam footballers U-17 at Associação Chapecoense de Futebol, in 2014.The sample involved 23 male professional athletes of Football U-17 with a mean age of 16.52 ± 0.51 years, from ACF in 2014, all the population was part of the study. The anthropometric variables analyzed were body weight, height, skinfolds and bone diameters. The percentage of fat was estimated using the equation of Slaughter et al. (1988). The results show that the mean values of body composition were: Body Mass Index (BMI) of 22.43 ± 171 kg / m²; fat percentage of 11.26 ± 4.44%; fat mass of 8.11 ± 3.81 kg; muscle mass 32.33 ± 3.90 kg; residual mass of 16.85 ± 1.84 kg; bone mass and 12.61 ± 1.14. Comparing the positions on the field evidence was found that the players of goalkeeper position have the highest BMI, muscle mass and residual mass. Defenders have the highest percentages of fat, fat mass and bone mass. On the other hand the midfielders demonstrate the lowest BMI, fat percentage, fat mass, muscle mass and residual mass. The side had the lowest amount of bone mass of the sample. It is concluded that each player has different characteristics of body composition resulting from their specific activities.
