Modelling height in adolescence: a comparison of methods for estimating the age at peak height velocity [PDF]
Annals of Human Biology, 2017 Background: Controlling for maturational status and timing is crucial in lifecourse epidemiology. One popular non-invasive measure of maturity is the age at peak height velocity (PHV).

Observed and predicted ages at peak height velocity in soccer players. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 The purpose of the study was to evaluate predicted maturity offset (time before age at PHV) and age at PHV (chronological age [CA] minus maturity offset) in a longitudinal sample of 58 under-13 club level soccer players in central Portugal for whom ages ...

Estimating peak height velocity in individuals: a comparison of statistical methods [PDF]
Annals of Human Biology, 2020 Background Estimates pertaining to the timing of the adolescent growth spurt (e.g. peak height velocity; PHV), including age at peak height velocity (aPHV), play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of skeletal growth and/or ...

Growth until Peak Height Velocity Occurs Rapidly in Early Maturing Adolescent Boys [PDF]
Children, 2022 The timing and tempo of growth rate varies inter-individually during adolescence and can have an impact on athletic performance. This study aimed to determine the difference in growth rate for each maturity status.

Using the SITAR Method to Estimate Age at Peak Height Velocity of Children in Rural South Africa: Ellisras Longitudinal Study [PDF]
Children, 2020 Various studies have been conducted on children using the Ellisras Longitudinal Study Survey in South Africa, but none of these has addressed growth variations of children in this rural location.

Ossification of the phalanges of the foot and its relationship to peak height velocity and the calcaneal system [PDF]
Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2018 Purpose There are multiple skeletal maturity grading systems, but none of them utilizes the phalanges of the foot. To minimize radiation, it would be ideal if one could assess the skeletal maturity of a foot based on bones seen on routine foot radiographs, if guided growth is being considered as a treatment ...

Estimating peak height velocity in individuals [PDF]
Annals of Human Biology, 2020 The paper by Boeyer et al. (2020) is seriously flawed. It compares three ways to estimate peak height velocity (PHV) and its timing (aPHV) in individuals: my SITAR growth curve model (Cole et al.

Pubertal gynecomastia coincides with peak height velocity. [PDF]
J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol, 2013 Pubertal gynecomastia (PG) occurs in up to 65% of adolescent boys. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the ages at which PG and peak height velocity occur in pubertal boys.This was a prospective study that was designed to detect PG within three months of its emergence. We examined one hundred and six boys who were followed for short
