The ability to perform physical exercise will be closely related to the form, amount and ratio of different tissues and body segments that make up the human body. Every sport requires an individual sense of structure and body shape to achieve good performance. Accordingly, appropriate control and monitoring of body composition may result in significant benefits for athletes, both in optimizing their performance, as in health. In this work, standardized tests were used to assess the body composition of athletes from the women's national soccer selection of Panama, formed by 23 players. The average age of the players was 20.4 ± 2.8 years, the weight of 58.9 ± 8.7 kg and height of 162.47 ± 5.31 cm. An average of the Body Mass Index (BMI) of 22.8 ± 2.0 kg/m2, a percentage of body fat determined by folds of 18.9 ± 2.51% and a waist-hip ratio (C / C) of 0.75 ± 0.04. From a diagnosis of the current status of these athletes, it was found that the level of physical fitness in terms of body composition can be classified as good to excellent. However, six of them have overweight and a percentage of body fat increased, which could adversely affect their performance as soccer players, because the excessive body fat acts as dead weight in activities in which repeated efforts are done against gravity. To the coaches, we recommend strengthening the training of the 6 overweighted athletes, towards the reduction of body fat.
