Physical growth and maturation Booklet no.21

The changing needs of growing bodies and minds.

Physical Growth and Maturation coverPhysical activity is needed for normal growth and development, and for young people to reach their potential in muscle and bone development.

Sport is an ideal way to provide this necessary activity, as it also brings psychological and social benefits to young people.

For the best physical and skill development, consideration must be given to factors related to growth and maturation to help with decisions about grouping young people for participation, and readiness for:

  • progressions in training
  • competition
  • specialisation and intense training
