Anthropometric, Fitness And Coaches’ Perceptions Of Technical Skill Favour Early Maturing Adolescent Australian Footballers, Ashley Cripps, Luke Hopper, Christopher Joyce

Christopher Joyce

During mid-adolescence, biological maturity can vary greatly between athletes of similar
chronological ages, resulting in early maturing athlete’s benefiting from greater anthropometric and
fitness characteristics, when compared to their late maturing counterparts. In Australian Football,
advantages associated with early maturation may also result in greater technical and perceived skill
efficiency. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of maturational status on
anthropometric and fitness testing, technical skill efficiency and coaches’ perceptions of skill in
talented adolescent Australian Footballers (n=225, age 15.64 ± 0.29 years). An estimation of years
from peak height velocity (Y-PHV) was used to class …
