Abstract

Physical activity is essential for the identification and development of sporting talents. This process involves recognizing individuals with the potential to excel in a specific sport and fostering their skills to achieve success at higher competitive levels (Flores, Calero, Arancibia and García, 2014). In the sports context, talent identification is a complex process that considers various factors, such as physical attributes, technical skills, psychological characteristics, and general athletic potential. Physical activity is a crucial component in identifying athletic talent for several reasons. First, engaging in regular physical activity allows people to develop essential physical attributes such as strength, speed, agility, endurance and flexibility, all vital for success in sports. Through constant training and participation in physical activities, aspiring athletes can improve their athletic skills and performance (Granados and Cuéllar, 2018). Additionally, physical activity is essential to evaluate a person's athletic potential. Coaches and scouts often rely on the physical abilities that athletes demonstrate during training, competitions or specific evaluations. These assessments help identify those who possess the physical attributes necessary to excel in a given sport, distinguishing them from their peers.
