Background The vertical jump (VJ) is considered a key indicator of lower limb explosive
strength. Previous research has established that rate of force development and time to peak …

Growth, maturation, and development dominate the daily lives of children and adolescents
for approximately the first 2 decades of life. Growth and maturation are biological processes …

This study attempted to validate an anthropometric equation for predicting age at peak

This study attempted to validate an anthropometric equation for predicting age at peak
height velocity (PHV) in 198 Polish girls followed longitudinally from 8 to 18 years. Maturity …

Sex-specific equations for predicting maturity offset, time before or after peak height velocity
(PHV), were evaluated in 63 girls and 74 boys from the Fels Longitudinal Study. Serially …
