• All children born on the 19th Oct 2008 will be 10 years old on the 19th Oct 2018.
Biological age
• Biological age has its own calendar & only celebrates one birthday!
• Therefore children of the same chronological
age can differ by several years in their levels of biological maturity
Biological age
Biological age • Would you train a 12 year old the same way as you would train a 17 year old?

Postnatal Growth
Postnatal Growth Scammon’s curve of systemic growth
General curve
General curve • Growth of the body as a
whole and the growth of most of its parts
General curve • Growth of the body as a

• Often sigmoid
General curve • Growth of the body as a
whole and the growth of most of its parts
• Often sigmoid • Four phases: Rapid growth in infancy, steady but constant growth in middle childhood, rapid growth in adolescents, slow increase and eventual cessation

• Primary includes ovaries,
fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina in females and testes, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis in boys
• Secondary includes breasts in females, pubic and axillary hair in both sexes, and facial hair and growth of larynx in
Lymphoid curve
Lymphoid curve • Describes the growth of the
lymph glands, thymus gland, tonsils, appendix, and lymphoid patches of tissue in the intestines
Lymphoid curve • Describes the growth of the
lymph glands, thymus gland, tonsils, appendix, and lymphoid patches of tissue in the intestines
• These are generally involved in the child’s immunology

• These environmental experiences interact with the biological substrate of growth and maturation
• Movement behaviours in infancy and early childhood are also to some extent precursors of subsequent motor behaviours

Aerobic Performance
Aerobic Performance • Hard to asses: Aerobic capacity or Aerobic power?
Aerobic Performance • Hard to asses: Aerobic capacity or Aerobic power? • Children aged 7-9 years were studied by Turley and Wilmore (1997) and compared to adults; they found children had a higher HR, lower SV, lower Q.
