This study aimed to analyze the aerobic capacity and the tactical procedural knowledge between football players of different playing position in under-15 and under-17 categories. The sample was composed by 36 players, including 12 defenders, 12 midfielders and 12 forward, 18 in each category. Yoyo test was used to access the aerobic capacity, and the Tactical Procedural Knowledge (TCTP) test to access the tactical knowledge. The TCTP performance was analyzed using the chi-square test of proportions, and multiple paired comparisons were made considering the Bonferroni correction, maintaining the significance level of 0,05 for the initial test and 0,016 for the paired comparisons. On the other hand, the aerobic capacity data was verified for its normality and analyzed by ANOVA one way withTukey post hoc. All data was analyzed with the statistic software SPSS 20.0. The results have demonstrated significant differences between the tactical performance of defenders and others in the offensive action (under-15 category) and no differences were observed in the aerobic capacity in both categories. We concluded that there are differences in the athletes tactical capacity of different playing position among the subjects investigated in this study, although no differences related to the aerobic capacity were observed.
