2️⃣ Pre-PHV players were considered to be significantly better at maintaining composure and having better decision-making in bio-banded matches

[James Robinson @James_Robbo6]

1️⃣ Bio-banding resulted in whole group psycho-social changes across all attributes (except communication), compared to chronological matches.

The aim of this research is to promote the tool to be used as part of holistic development/assessment of players, particularly as biological maturity can asynchronously influence the physical and psychological development of children
