Abstract
The physical maturation of a young athlete is multifaceted encompassing changes related to bone, muscle, body composition, and neuromuscular control. This process is commonly influenced by gender, age, genetics, and external factors. Physical maturation has a unique effect on the acquisition of skills and risk of injury in the young developing athlete. Developing an understanding of the changes that occur physically in the developing athlete can help identify when and how to train, aid in recognizing risk, and identify preventative measures to optimize the health and well-being of youth athletes.
