TLDR
Trainers and coaches should be aware of the individual characteristics of the adolescent growth spurt and the training load should also be individualized at this time.Abstract:
Longitudinal changes in height, weight and physical performance were studied in 33 Flemish male youth soccer players from the Ghent Youth Soccer Project. The players' ages at the start of the study...read more

Talent identification and development programmes in sport : current models and future directions.
TL;DR: An overview of current knowledge in this area with special focus on problems associated with the identification of gifted adolescents is provided and a conceptual framework that acknowledges both genetic and environmental influences and considers the dynamic and multidimensional nature of sport talent is presented.

A multidisciplinary selection model for youth soccer: the Ghent Youth Soccer Project
Roel Vaeyens,Robert M. Malina,Melissa Janssens,B Van Renterghem,Jan Bourgois,Jacques Vrijens,Renaat Philippaerts +6 more
TL;DR: Characteristics that discriminate youth soccer players vary by age group, and Talent identification models should thus be dynamic and provide opportunities for changing parameters in a long-term developmental context.

The Long-Term Athlete Development model: Physiological evidence and application
Paul Ford,Mark De Ste Croix,Rhodri S. Lloyd,Robert W. Meyers,Marjan Moosavi,Jon L. Oliver,Kevin Till,Craig A. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: It is crucial that the LTAD model is seen as a “work in progress” and the challenge, particularly for paediatric exercise scientists, is to question, test, and revise the model.

Biological maturation of youth athletes: assessment and implications
Robert M. Malina,Alan D. Rogol,Sean P. Cumming,Manuel J. Coelho e Silva,António J. Figueiredo +4 more
TL;DR: Commonly used methods for assessing status and estimating timing and two relatively recent anthropometric (non-invasive) methods (status—percentage of predicted near adult height attained at observation, timing—predicted maturity offset/age at PHV) are described and evaluated.

The Youth Physical Development Model: A New Approach to Long-Term Athletic Development
Rhodri S. Lloyd,Jon L. Oliver +1 more
TL;DR: The YOUTH PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL provides a logical and evidence-based approach to the systematic development of physical performance in young athletes.

Assessment of Skeletal Maturity and Prediction of Adult Height (TW2 Method)
TL;DR: This book describes the Tanner-Whitehouse (TW) approach to bone age determination and presents the new TW2 standards and presents separate standards for boys and girls that recognize systematic differences between the sexes and the fact that girls are not simply more mature boys.
