  Con el objetivo de formular criterios de orientación y selección deportiva a partir de indicadores antropométricos y de condición física en jóvenes futbolistas, se evaluaron 119 jugadores (12,30 y 16,73 años) de las divisiones menores del club América de Cali organizados en 5 grupos, en dependencia a la edad cronológica. Por medio del análisis factorial -técnica de componentes principales- se diseñaron modelos característicos de selección deportiva para cada grupo, elaborando la respectiva tabla de calificación para cada variable incluida en el modelo. La estatura (cm), mesomorfia y el consumo máximo de oxígeno fueron incluidos en cada modelo, ya que alcanzaron un alto peso factorial en cada uno; además, se incluyeron el salto largo (cm), agilidad Illinois (seg) y el tiempo para la distancia en 20 metros (seg). El 17% de los jugadores en cada categoría presenta un comportamiento destacado, ya que alcanzaron más de 6 puntos en cada variable incluida en el modelo de selección.

These players were divided in 5 groups, each one of them was arranged on the basis of chronological age.The athletes' selection models related with each group of players were designed by means of factorial analysis –main components technique-. On the same basis, it was developed a grading grid for each one of the former groups. Those grading grids included a complete set of variables pertaining the analysis task. As the players attained a high factorial weight for each variable assessed, it was decided that Height (cm), mesomorphy patterns and the vo2 were included for every model. Long jump (cm), Illinois agility (sec) and speed for 20 mts distance (sec) were also included. The 17% of the players for each category had a good performance since they reached more than 6 points for each variable considered within the selection model.
