The consequences of this grouping are known as the relat…

Maturity status was determined as the percentage of predicted adult height (%PAH). RAEs are strongly represented in the sample as 77% of players were born …

The RAE refers to a disproportionately high percentage in sport teams of athletes born early in the selection year. Our primary focus was to explo…
