Abstract: Introduction: Biological maturation has been related to the level of physical activity and motor competence of children. Objectives: This study aimed to: 1) analyze the association between biological maturation and performance in muscular strength tests and 2) examine whether the relationship between maturation and performance in physical tests is mediated by anthropometric variables. Method: The sample was composed of 71 eight-year-old Brazilian girls. Anthropometry considered stature, body mass, waist circ… Show more

“…In this sense, among possible research designs, mediation studies can be used to understand which characteristics associated with body growth and biological maturation most strongly affect the physical performance of young athletes. Mediation analysis has recently been used in studies with children to evaluate the effect of biological maturation on motor competence performance through the mediation of anthropometric characteristics [37,38]. Therefore, the purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate whether there is an effect of biological maturation on the performance of young judo athletes after controlling chronological age and body mass; and (2) in the situation where the maturation effect is evidenced, to investigate anthropometric variables that can mediate this effect.…”
