Description
Pablo Jiménez-Daza and co-authors study young male basketball players in a 2023 paper. The players were aged twelve to eighteen and sorted into three age groups. The team measured height, body mass, fat, muscle, and bone. They also timed how far each boy was from his peak growth spurt. Jump tests gave each player a force and speed profile.
Links between growth timing and jump balance showed up most in the younger groups. Body build linked to peak force in the youngest group and to peak power in the oldest. The authors suggest jump profiles could help coaches fix weak spots while boys are still growing.
