  1. Values are presented as mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) and level of significance (p-value) of the comparison between groups. BM: body mass; BF%: body fat percentage; PHV: peak height velocity; APHV: predicted age at PHV. Previous research on the calculations of PHV and APHV can be consulted [23, 24]
