TL;DR: In conclusion, the elite rhythmic gymnasts compensate for their loss of pubertal growth spurt by a late acceleration of linear growth, and genetic predisposition of growth is not only preserved, but even exceeded.

TL;DR: In RGs and AGs, pubertal development was shifted to a later age, maintaining a normal rate of progression, which followed the bone age, andAGs, who were exposed to a greater and more sustained energy output than RGs, presented a more pronounced delay in both skeletal maturation and puberty.

TL;DR: Male patients with AD, in contrast with female patients, fail to maintain a normal energy homeostasis even in the early stages of the disease, as shown by the decreased lean mass content in males AD compared to controls.

TL;DR: The phenotype of renal agenesis/dysgenesis strongly indicates the existence of KAL1 gene defects in the genotype of patients with sporadic KS, providing evidence for the X-linked mode of inheritance and offering the opportunity for genetic counseling.

TL;DR: In athletes, high-impact loading activities have been shown to improve BMD, while in sports requiring a lean somatotype, the delay in skeletal maturation and pubertal development, resulting from hypoestrogenemia, predisposes athletes to osteopenia.
