Characteristics of growing body
Skeletal Immaturity
Presence of growth plates
made of soft cartilage
weaker than surrounding bone
less resistant to force/stress
Lesser muscle mass
lack of lean mass
imbalance in growth and strength
lower capability to generate force
lower capability to absorb impact
Lower cardio-respiratory capacity
lower endurance level
higher muscle fatigability
Muscle-tendon imbalance
Adolescent growth spurt
Rapid increase in bone length
Discrepancy between bone growth and mineralization
Anatomical mal-alignment
Growth spurt
stretching of soft tissues
subtle change in overall alignment
Altered knee and knee mechanics
inward knee rotation
leg length discrepancy
mal-aligned knee cap
flat feet
Differential growth and maturity
Chronological and biological age
Age-matched
Lower thermoregulatory capability
Increased surface area to body mass ratio
increase heat influx
greater rise in core temperature
Reduced sweating capacity
lower sweat rate
higher sweat threshold
poor evaporative cooling
Greater generation of metabolic heat per unit mass
Slower rate of heat acclimatization
Level of perceptual and cognitive development
Increased likelihood of engaging in injury-risk behaviors
Poor learning of risk avoidance from injury experiences
Ignorance towards use of protective wear
Overestimation of physical abilities
Poor identification of hazards
slower avoidance maneuvers
slower thought processing
Poor understanding of risks
Assumption that they won’t get injured
