This study aimed to develop age-specific reference intervals for physical performance test outcomes relevant to male youth Middle Eastern football players. Using mixed-longitudinal data from 441 male youth outfield football players, the study estimated age-specific reference centiles for sprinting, jump height, and aerobic speed variables. The results showed that the physical performance test scores increased nonlinearly with advancing chronological age, reaching a plateau after 16 years for sprinting and jump measures. The median score for aerobic speed increased substantially until around 14.5 years and then flattened off towards older ages.
Purpose: To develop age-specific reference intervals for physical performance test outcomes relevant to male youth Middle Eastern football players. Methods: We analyzed mixed-longitudinal data (observations range: 1751-1943 assessments) from a sample of 441 male youth outfield football players (chronological age range: 11.7-18.4 y) as part of the Qatar Football Association and Aspire Academy development program over 14 competitive seasons. Semiparametric generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape estimated age-specific reference centiles for 10-m sprinting, 40-m sprinting, countermovement jump height, and maximal aerobic speed variables. Results: The estimated reference intervals indicated that the distribution of the physical performance test scores increased monotonically and nonlinearly with advancing chronological age for sprinting and countermovement jump outcome measures, reaching a plateau after 16 years common to each of these performance variables. The maximal aerobic speed median score increased substantially until & SIM;14.5 years, with the nonlinear trend flattening off toward relatively older chronological ages. Conclusions: We developed age-related reference intervals for physical performance test outcomes relevant to youth Qatari football players. Country-wide age-specific reference intervals can assist in the longitudinal tracking of the individual players' progress over time against benchmark values derived from the reference population.
