The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference of anthropometrics, basal physical fitness, heart rate recovery rate, ball speed after in-step shooting between elite and high school women soccer players at the same age, and to present the basic data for developing the training program or setting the goal of training in women soccer. Subjects in this study were players of korean national standing women soccer team (n=21) and high school women soccer team (n=23). Anthropometrics and basal physical fitness were measured with anthropometry tapes and Takei Physical Fitness Test System % Body fat, RHR, HR recovery rate after 100m dash, ball speed after in-step shooting were measured with body composition analyser, wireless HR recorder, speed gun, respectively. Significant difference was shown in fore arm girth, thigh girth, grip strength at undominant arm, back strength, trunk extension, sit-ups, whole body reaction time, side-step, vital capacity, HR recovery rate at 5 min after 100m dash, ball speed after in-step shooting at both leg. In conclusion, the difference in physical fitness was larger than that in anthropometrics, and difference in technical level was seemed to result from the difference in basal physical fitness.
