average gain in ht of male during adolescence
28cm
average gain in ht of female during adolescence
25cm
peak ht velocity of male
13.5 years
peak ht velocity of female
11.5 years
peak wt velocity of female
6 months after peak ht velocity

SMR V
age of complete sexual maturity of boys
17-18 yo
sequence of pubertal events
boys: Testicular enlargement –> Adrenarche –> Continued Testicular and Penile enlargement –> Peak ht and wt velocity
girls: Telarche –> Adrenarche –> Peak ht velocity –> continued breast and hair devt –> menarche
