Adolescent correlates of adult physical activity: A 26-year follow-up
Article Abstract:
Adolescent physical activity, fitness, anthropometric dimensions, fatness, biological maturity, and family characteristics contribute to the variation in physical activity at 40 years of age, is hypothesized. Adolescent somatic dimensions, fitness, sports participation, parental sociocultural characteristics, and sport participation contributed to a small-to-moderate extent to the contrast between high and low active adults.

Ulnar variance and skeletal maturity of radius and ulna in female gymnasts
Article Abstract:
Abnormal skeletal changes of the hand and wrist of elite female gymnasts are not a function of overload. Field research on 201 female gymnasts suggests that ulnar overgrowth is not premature, as expected. Those with ulnar overgrowth were also skeletally more mature than the gymnasts without overgrowth. Genetics rather than training demands are probably responsible for wrist pain, especially in tall gymnasts.
