Summary: | Introduction: The physical variables related to strength, changes of direction, agility direction, and speed are determinant variables in physical performance in female soccer players, which is why characterizing their manifestations are an essential input for methodological consideration in training plans. Objective: For this reason, the objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between the physical variables of Squat Jump, Counter Movement Jump, Counter Movement with arms, right leg-left leg asymmetry, hamstring strength, change of direction, and speed in 5, 10 and 15 meters as an influence of being a starter and non-starter in a Colombian youth women's soccer team. Each test was evaluated using the "My Jump Lab" mobile application. Methods: The study included 22 players from the Bogotá national team with an average age of 17.12±0.93 years, a height of 163.84±4.70 cm, and a body mass of 56.56±7.45 kg. The study had a quantitative, descriptivecorrelational approach and a non-experimental design. The sampling was non-probabilistic by convenience. The statistical treatment was done with the ® program version 4.1.0, using univariate and bivariate analysis tests, normality tests, and the Kruskall-Wallis test. Results: The results indicate that the starting players show better performance in SJ, CMJ, CMJB, asymmetries, hamstring strength, and CoDTimer, while the non-starting players show better performance in the speed test. However, although there are differences between starting and nonstarting players, there is no variable significant at 5%, with only leg asymmetry being the only one that proved significant at 10%. Conclusions: The findings of the present research ratify the need to continue deepening the performance evaluation for female soccer players, leading to thinking that the player's performance depends on many factors that should integrate the physical with other indicators, processes, and capabilities. This investigation is the first study in women's youth soccer in Colombia that sought to evaluate the differences between starting and non-starting players based on physical variables; providing a conceptual and research basis can help build lines of research that focus more attention on the sporting performance of female soccer players in the various categories and sporting levels |
