Implication

Longitudinal meta-analysis reveals peak height velocity occurs around age eleven in young female athletes, indicating growth timing mirrors general pediatric trends.

Key Points

Peak height velocity in young female athletes occurs at ages comparable to non-athletic peers, and stature growth curves remain difficult to resolve across specific youth sports.
Predicted age at peak height velocity averaged 11.18 years, with repeated anthropometric data showing pubertal growth timelines aligned with the general pediatric population.
Longitudinal meta-analysis using Bayesian multilevel modeling highlights limited geographic diversity, which calls for expanded growth monitoring across varied youth sports.
