Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between running performance and control test performance in junior athletes, taking into account their physical maturity during growth period. It was found that the development of control test performance differed between events when chronological age was used and when PHVA was used. Many events showed significant correlations between postPHVA in boys and prePHVA in girls and control test performance. It was found that the development of performance differed between the sexes. It is possible that the chronological age criterion may misrepresent the developmental stage of individuals, suggesting the need to use PHVA as a criterion when evaluating control test performance.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ジュニア期の競技者を対象としたコントロールテストパフォーマンスの評価について、暦年齢を基準とした評価では、個人の発達段階や能力による影響を見誤ることが考えられる。身体の成熟度を指標として各種コントロールテストのパフォーマンスから体力指標の発達傾向を示すことは、各種体力や能力を高めるためには成熟段階でどのような指導をすべきかという問題を解決する際に有益な知見となると考えられる。
