describe developmental age as an LTAD factor

A
  • chronological age: refers to the numer of years/days since birth
  • developmental age: refers to the degree of physical, mental, moral, cognitive and emotional maturity
  • quality indicator of developmental age is PHV (peak height velocity)
    *girls tend to hit PHV sooner than boys, in boys 14-15 range
19
Q

describe sensitive periods as LTAD factors

A
  • stamina (endurance) - conditioning
  • strength (resistance training)
  • speed (speed/agility/quickness)
  • skill (movement/sport skill)
  • suppleness (mobility/flexibility)
20
Q

after puberty, what kickstarts muscle growth?

A

testosterone
- hormonal response
- can still train before peak height velocity, will just see more adaptation with hormone release

21
Q

if we can elicit speed adaptation early on,

A

can keep it
ex. putting kid in xc or racing them to mailbox will develop stamina

22
Q
