Abstract des Autors
Peak oxygen uptake was determined in 34 girls, aged 11 to 12 years at the beginning of the study, 3 times in course of 3 successive years. Their sexual maturation was assessed according to Tanner's method, and main anthropometric measurements were recorded. The skeletal age was assessed by X-ray of the left wrist and hand. Absolute values of VO2max increased significantly with sexual maturation. However, longitudinal comparisons revealed also age-related increases in VO2max, independent from the sexual maturation stage. VO2max relative to body mass remained constant in the period of growth spurt, as well as during the final stages of sexual maturation. Verf.-Referat
