description [EN] The aim of the present research was to observe the relative age effect on professional soccer players of the ten best leagues of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), according to the IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics). The sample consisted of 5201 professional players who participated in the professional leagues during the 2016-2017 season. The birth date of each player was classified in four quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). The frequencies (fr) and percentages (%) of the birth quartiles were analyzed. The chi square test (X2) and degrees of freedom (gl) were performed to check the differences in the intergroup distribution. Likewise, odd ratios were calculated for the different quartiles, where Q4 was the reference group according to the different leagues studied, playing positions (goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward) and classification (first four places, half-of the table and four last places). To calculate the size of the effect on the nominal variables, the Cramer V test was carried out. The results confirmed a greater representation of players born in Q1 and Q2, indicating statistically significant values (p < 0.05) for all the leagues studied, except in the Eerste Klasse A (Belgium). This significance was repeated for the demarcation variables in the field, with a greater effect in the case of the midfielders. Finally, the RAE also affected the three groups according to teams´ classification. The conclusions confirm the effect of the RAE in the sample studied, which would require a review of the talent selection processes in football in order to balance the chances of success of players born at the end of the year.

La muestra estuvo compuesta por 5201 jugadores profesionales que participaron en las ligas profesionales durante la temporada 2016-2017. La fecha de nacimiento de cada jugador se clasificó en cuatro cuartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3 y Q4). Se analizaron las frecuencias (fr) y los porcentajes (%) de los cuartiles de nacimiento. Se realizaron la prueba de chi cuadrado (X2) y grados de libertad (gl) para comprobar las diferencias en la distribución intergrupal. Asimismo, se calcularon odds ratios para los diferentes cuartiles, siendo la Q4 el grupo de referencia según las diferentes ligas estudiadas, posiciones de juego (portero, defensa, centrocampista y delantero) y clasificación (cuatro primeros puestos, mitad de la tabla y cuatro últimos puestos). Para calcular el tamaño del efecto sobre las variables nominales se realizó la prueba V de Cramer. Los resultados confirmaron una mayor representación de jugadores nacidos en la Q1 y la Q2, indicando valores estadísticamente significativos (p < 0,05) para todas las ligas estudiadas, excepto en la Eerste Klasse A (Bélgica). Esta significación se repitió para las variables de demarcación en el campo, con mayor efecto en el caso de los centrocampistas. Finalmente, la RAE también afectó a los tres grupos según la clasificación de los equipos. Las conclusiones confirman el efecto de la RAE en la muestra estudiada, lo que requeriría una revisión de los procesos de selección de talento en el fútbol para poder equilibrar las posibilidades de éxito de los jugadores nacidos a final de año.SIJournal of Sports Science & MedicineEducacion Fisica y DeportivaFacultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Fisica y del Deporte2018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://jssm.org/volume17/iss3/cap/jssm-17-409.pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10612/17580reponame:BULERIA.
