This paper suggests that acceleration speed is affected by biological maturation. This improved along with unilateral jump performance.

Limb asymmetries didn't seem to impair performance, although this could depend on the magnitude of these asymmetries.

We know that physical qualities improve as youth athletes go through peak height velocity (PHV).

However, which physical qualities does PHV affect most? Recent research provides new insights.

We all know it, but we still use it anyway.

Pre-training, even during training if it's within a gym-based setting.

The education is interesting, but it's always the action that actually makes a difference.
