Associations between growth, maturation and non-contact injury risk in Scottish male academy football: a prospective multi-academy study
Background Biological maturation significantly influences injury risk in youth footballers, yet evidence from male Scottish academies remains limited. Variability in maturity timing means players do not reach peak height velocity (PHV) at the same chronological age, potentially creating disparities…
