Goalkeeper (GK) is an expert in soccer and goalkeeping is a completely professional job. In fact, achieving
success seems impossible without a reliable GK. Face to this credence, our goals were intended to test the limits of
naked-eye coach’s appreciation, in selecting the potential goalkeepers via the
Algerian championship. Considered by our scientists in their subjectivity to
take into account the effect of anthropometric characteristics on
quantification of training loads and their relationships with physical
performance. Pointed by FIFA in the conviction of the overweight goalkeeper, who
should work harder under this dead weight. For this proposal, 28 goalkeepers from eight Oran league teams, second
division at Algerian championships. Their homogeneity was assessed giving their
qualifications in their teams (14-MG v's 14-SG), as well as their performance
in the penalty test. Tested by the flowing trials; Penalty Kicks (PK), drill
rule drop (TR), 'T' Drill Test and anthropometric characteristics; body height
(BH) & weight (BW) and waist circumference (WC), during the season
2015-2016. As a protocol to predict the differences between selected players,
as well as their weaknesses in the penalty test. Based on applied statistics;
our results expose the defects of traditional method in the predict of anthropometric characteristics and
their influence on training loads to maintain optimal fitness body. Record in the
insignificantly of independent t-test in all comparisons practised between MG
V’S SG. Advised by the relation BMI to WC size, as higher factors predicting
the success of the sample in the penalty test. Supported by similar studies in
the quantification of bound training loads, relative with the excess of body
fat and its consequences on the physical performance, associated with
anthropometric dimensions (shape or type).
