Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influence of maturation on sports performance in school-age athletes. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 26 handball athletes (12.4 ± 0.85 years, 156.9 ± 8.07 cm, 157.93 ± 7.11 kg), 46.1% female. Physical and anthropometric tests were performed. Maturation was evaluated by the Peak Growth Velocity (PVC) estimation formula. Pearson's correlation was analyzed to verify the influence of age on CVP and physical tests. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: Female athletes showed a moderate positive correlation with the abdominal tests, counter-movement jump and maximal oxygen consumption (r = 0.633, p = 0.027; r = 0.694, p = 0.012; r = 0.582, p = 0.047, respectively), and strong negative for the throwing tests, dominant hand dynamometry and agility (r =-0.792, p =0.002; r =-0.818, p =0.001; r =-0.720, p = 0.008, respectively) for age in CVP. Among male athletes, there were no significant correlations of age in CVP and physical tests. Conclusion: Age at CVP may influence the physical performance of athletes, especially females.
