"We created maturational groups (MG) from equations to predict biological maturation (BM) by years for peak height velocity (APHV) and skeletal age (SA). 1/4

We evaluated the relative age effect (RAE) on Brazilian combat sports rankings, check out our findings at: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Dihogo de Matos Springer Nature Authors Springer Nature Surgery

In a recent study, our group identified that there is an effect of relative age (RAE) in speed trials in Brazilian athletics (male: under 16 and under 18), and in shallow trials (female: under 18). BMC Dihogo de Matos …sportsscimedrehabil.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

When considering the stages of biological maturation (PHV), the pediatric relative fat mass index (RFMp) was not valid for determining adiposity in physically active pediatrics (both sex). Wiley @JHNDEditor Dihogo de Matos onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We found that national level (elite level) karate athletes report higher VO2max, less body adipose tissue and greater body straightness when compared to state level athletes and non-athlete karate practitioners. Dihogo de Matos Complete text: imcjournal.com/index.php/en/1…
