Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the adult height prediction program for Japanese female athletes. Height data from birth to 15-yr-old for 45 synchronized swimmers and 34 female students with over 163cm were analyzed using BTT method. Height velocity curves, predicted heights and adult heights were examined.
Though the correlation was observed between adult heights and the predicted heights, the predicted heights value were under-estimated for 160cm or smaller subjects, and over-estimated for 160cm or taller subjects. In taller height person's growth pattern, adolescence came earlier and growth velocity was higher at the beginning of adolescence. The influence of the maternal height was larger than that of father.
