Although there are several methods available to assess biological maturation, practitioners who work with youth can benefit from assessment methods that are available and feasible, and that provide utility in the quantification of the degree and stages of biological maturation that affect motor performance in children and adolescents. Four out of five people, for instance, have an older heart age than their current age. As we age our biological age should be lower than our chronological age. Introduction: The chronological age (CA) of a patient does not always correspond to the events of growth surge therefore treatment strategies need good knowledge of biological markers. It seems most people have a biological age that is older than it should be. On the other hand, biological age reflects the physical and functional changes that take place in the body over time. Practitioners who work with school-age youth should be aware of the age-related changes that typically take place during a child's development to ensure that their strength and conditioning programming is as safe and effective as possible for enhancing performance and reducing injury risk. Chronological age is the number of years that have passed since birth. Mismatched rapid growth in the long bones relative to muscular lengthening may disrupt structure, neuromuscular function, and physical performance. Biological Age: This is an age that can be. But chronological age isn't necessarily the best metric of aging, as our bodies age at different ratesan age of 70, for example, can look incredibly different from one person to the next. Chronological Age or Physiological Age: This is the number of seconds, minutes, days, months, and years a person has been on the Earth. Biological maturation is associated with significant change to a number of physiological and structural processes throughout childhood and, in particular, adolescence. Your chronological age measures your age in calendar years or the number of birthdays you've had. Age changes in your cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems occur at a predictable rate with age (about 1 a year after age 30-40), and so if you’re under 1 then you’re beating.
