Purpose: To compare characteristics of club level male soccer players 11 and 13 years of age, and to evaluate playing status in soccer two and 10 years after baseline by birth quarter (BQ).

The search for talent is pervasive in youth sports. Selection/exclusion in many sports follows a maturity-related gradient largely during the interval of puberty and growth spurt. As such, there is emphasis on methods for...

Background: The influence of maturity-status on athletic performance is reasonably well documented. Methodological and practical issues of assessment and lack of longitudinal data have impacted the success of various...
To evaluate relationships among skeletal maturity, body size, and functional capacities of elite junior tennis players.Participants were 88 elite British Junior tennis players (44 male; 44 female), 8-16 years of age (12.4±1.9...
Growth and maturation impact the selection, development and progression of youth athletes. Individual differences in the growth and maturity may afford a performance advantage, clouding coaches and practitioners’ perceptions...
Abstract: A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of Bs0→J/ψϕ decays is presented where the J/ψ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an e+e- pair. The analysis uses a sample of pp collision data recorded with the...
Inter-individual differences in size, maturity status, function, and behavior among youth of the same chronological age (CA) have long been a concern in grouping for sport. Bio-banding is a recent attempt to accommodate...

Objectives: The study compared two estimates of ages at take-off (TO) and at peak height velocity (PHV) n a longitudinal sample of male soccer players, and evaluated maturity status based upon ages at PHV and skeletal age (SA)....
This study aimed to predict motor coordination from a matrix of biocultural factors. The sample included 173 children (89 boys, 84 girls) aged 7-9 years assessed on the Körperkoordinationtest für Kinder test battery....

A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of $B^0_s\to J/\psi\phi$
decays is presented where the $J/\psi$ meson is reconstructed through its decay
to an $e^+e^-$ pair. The analysis uses a sample of $pp$ collision data...

The intermittent nature of match performance in youth soccer supports relevance of ability to repeatedly produce high-intensity actions with short recovery periods. This study was aimed to examine the reproducibility of a...
Background: The weakening of the cardiovascular system associated with aging could be countered by increasing levels of physical activity and functional fitness. However, inconsistent findings have been found, and the...

A model for adolescent involvement in physical activity(PA) that incorporates individual differences in biological maturation is presented. The biocultural model of maturity-associated variance in physical activity recognizes PA...
