Implication

Caution against sex-specific training changes in adolescent runners; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

54 adolescent distance runners (27 male, 27 female), ages 8.0 to 15.1 years at initial visit. A subset of 36 (20 males, 16 females) were followed longitudinally.

Outcome

Age- and sex-associated variation in seven neuromuscular capacities: quadrant jump, figure 8 run, standing long jump, vertical jump, flexed arm hang, sit-and-reach and sit-upsurrogate

Neuromuscular capacities in adolescent distance runners show distinct age- and sex-associated variations, particularly diverging during the adolescent growth spurt.
