Research objective: To reveal the basic current situation of body composition and body self-esteem of youth football players based on basic information of football players,and to further explore the relationship between body composition and body self-esteem of youth football players by analyzing the reasons related to the differences between body composition and body self-esteem of football players.On the basis of understanding the current situation of each dimension of body composition and body self-esteem in youth football players,we analyse whether body composition has positive benefits on youth football players’ body self-esteem,with the aim of improving youth football players’ physical health status and psychological well-being.Research significance: A new perspective on the correlation between body composition and body self-esteem in youth football players can contribute to a deeper understanding of physical and mental health issues.The correlation study between body composition and body self-esteem can help broaden the research field of body composition and enrich and improve the national physical fitness monitoring system in China.At the same time,it is of research significance to study what kind of influence body composition has on adolescents’ body self-esteem,which is conducive to purposefully guiding adolescents to enhance their physical fitness,keep fit and promote their mental health,so that the overall level of adolescents’ physical health and mental health can be improved.The results of the study can also provide a theoretical and practical basis for teaching physical education on campus.Research methods: Ninety-eight youth football players from the Kaifeng "Full Sky Star" football training camp were selected as the test and investigation subjects.An intelligent body composition analyser was used to measure the body composition of the participants;a body self-esteem scale was used to measure the participants’ body self-esteem.The data collected were statistically processed using SPSS 26.0.Results:(1)In terms of body shape,the height and weight of the football players,both boys and girls,were higher than the national average for the height of boys and girls in the same age group.According to the different positions of football players on the field,the height showed certain positional characteristics,which showed that goalkeeper > defender > striker > forward(midfield),and the weight positional characteristics showed that the goalkeeper weighed the most,followed by the defender,then the striker,and the striker weighed the least.With reference to Chinese standards,very few of the youth footballers were in the pre-obese stage,but the average values were within the normal range.The body fat percentage of youth football players showed goalkeeper > defender > forward > striker at different positions,but there was no variability in body fat percentage at each position.The positional characteristics of lean body mass showed goalkeeper > defender > striker > forward(midfield),with goalkeeper having the highest lean body mass.(2)There were significant differences(p < 0.05)in the level of body self-esteem among youth football players by gender,with girls scoring lower on average than boys;the mean scores of the main scale and the four subscales of body self-esteem of football players at different positions were within the passing line,and the mean scores of all dimensions of body self-esteem of the forward(midfielder)were higher than the scores of all dimensions of body self-esteem of the forward,defender and goalkeeper.(3)In terms of body shape,male football players had a significant negative correlation between BMI and the physical condition dimension(P < 0.05)and male body fat percentage had a significant negative correlation with the athleticism and physical condition dimensions(P < 0.05);female football players did not have a significant correlation between body shape and the dimensions of body self-esteem(P > 0.05).In terms of muscle mass,there was no significant correlation between body muscle mass and the dimensions of body self-esteem in both male and female football players(P > 0.05).Conclusions:(1)the body composition of youth football players was more reasonable.(2)The level of body self-esteem of youth football players was within the passing level.(3)There is a correlation between the body composition of youth football players and their body esteem scores.
