What is the average body fat percentage for a male soccer player?
Professional male 'football' players are extremely lean;
football requires high levels in agility, fitness, speed and
general football skill. Footballers tend to be between 7-12% body
fat, all depending on the position in which they play. It is
important for footballers to be lean to ensure that they are as
fit, fast and competitive as possible, especially at the top
level.
