Abstract
The purpose of this research were to investigate whether physical fitness and technical skill performance according to age level and birth-month distribution in the Thai youth soccer players. 135 male youth soccer players aged 13-18 years old, who were football player at Nakhonnon wittaya 6 school, Bangkok sports Scholl and Nakhonpathom Municipaloty sports Scholl. All subject were divided into 3 age groups (UI4 U16 and U18). All subject were record birth quartile (Q1 Q2 Q3 and Q4) and were assessed physical fitness (SPARQ Boys and Girls Soccer Testing Protocols) and technical skill performance (Nattawut,1991) . Data were analyzed used mean, standard variation and one–way ANOVA with repeated measure. Multiple comparisons were performed using the Tukey method and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. All test used the 0.05 level of significance.
The results showed that physical fitness and technical skill performance variables were significance (P<0.05) difference between UI4, U16 and U18 but no significant difference between Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 could be observed in any physical fitness and technical skill performance. Furthermore more the item of physical fitness and technical skill were significantly correlated to aged level of players (Physical fitness r = -0.62–0.75 and technical skill performance r= -0.65– 0.61 respectively) but there were not found correlation with birth-month distribution. It can be concluded that physical fitness and technical skill performance were not affected by birth-month distribution, it could be suggested that the selection player process should be focused on age level and player ability.
