Relation between multidimensional performance characteristics and level of performance in talented youth field hockey players

To determine the relationship between multidimensional performance characteristics and level of performance in talented youth field hockey players, elite youth players (n  =  38, mean age 13.2 years, s  =  1.26) were compared with sub-elite youth players (n  =  88, mean age 14.2 years, s  =  1.26) o...

Summary:To determine the relationship between multidimensional performance characteristics and level of performance in talented youth field hockey players, elite youth players (n  =  38, mean age 13.2 years, s  =  1.26) were compared with sub-elite youth players (n  =  88, mean age 14.2 years, s  =  1.26) on anthropometric, physiological, technical, tactical and psychological characteristics. Multivariate analyses with performance level and gender as factors, and age as the covariate, showed that the elite youth players scored better than the sub-elite youth players on technical (dribble performance in a peak and repeated shuttle run), tactical (general tactics; tactics for possession and non-possession of the ball) and psychological variables (motivation) (P
