  • Motor performance during adolescence and age thirty as related to age at peak height velocity

    Open AccessJohan Lefevre, Gaston Beunen et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1990

    Relationships between motor performance, as measured by various fitness tests, and age at peak height velocity have been studied in a sample of 173 Flemish boys, measured yearly between +/- 13 and +/- 18 years and again as adults at 30 years of age. In addition to correlation studies, comparisons were made between boys with an early, average and late age at peak height velocity. To summarize the successive measurements during adolescence, a longi…

  • Skeletal maturity in Belgian youths assessed by the Tanner-Whitehouse method (TW2)

    Open AccessGaston Beunen, J Lefevre et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1990

    Reference data for skeletal maturity (TW2 method) of the hand and wrist are provided for large representative samples of Belgian boys and girls. The sample of Belgian boys consisted of 21,174 boys aged 12 to 20 years studied in a nationwide cross-sectional and longitudinal study on the physical fitness of secondary schoolboys (1969-1974). The girls' sample consisted of 9698 6-19-year-old Flemish girls studied cross-sectionally (1979-1980). Both s…

  • Patterns of TW-1 and TW-2 skeletal age differences in 12-19-year-old Belgian boys

    Open AccessGaston Beunen, M Ostyn et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1983

    The pattern of differences between TW-1 and TW-2 skeletal ages was investigated in a mixed longitudinal sample of Belgian school boys aged about 12-19 years. The differences between the TW-1 and TW-2 skeletal ages decrease from 12 years until 15 years, then increase until they stabilize at 17 years. TW-1 skeletal ages are greater than TW-2 skeletal ages, except at 14 and 15 years. This trend confirms the findings in better-off black and white Phi…

  • Fatness and skeletal maturity of Belgian boys 12 through 17 years of age

    Open AccessGaston Beunen, Robert M Malina et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1982Cited by: 6References: 14

    Relationships between fatness and skeletal maturity are considered in a nationwide sample of 14,259 Belgian boys 12 through 17 years of age (The Leuven Growth Study of Belgian Boys). Absolute fatness was estimated from four skinfolds using the Drinkwater and Ross technique and from the sum of four skinfolds, and was related to skeletal maturity assessed by the Tanner‐Whitehouse method (I and II). In addition, comparisons were made between the fat…

  • Chronological and biological age as related to physical fitness in boys 12 to 19 years

    Open AccessGaston Beunen, M Ostyn et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1981

    The relative importance of skeletal age and chronological age in explaining body measurements and the relative importance of skeletal age, chronological age, height, weight, and their interactions in explaining motor fitness components are reported. Anthropometric, motor fitness, and skeletal maturity data have been collected in a mixed longitudinal study of Belgian school boys 12+/- - 19+/- years. At each age level multiple regression equations …
