[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this less common in boys? [/quote] When girls go through puberty, they gain less lean muscle mass and increase their body fat percentage. This increases into late adolescence. Boys gain much more lean muscle mass in puberty and their strength to mass ratio goes on a continuous upswing into their 20’s. In most girls, their strength to body mass ratio decreases through puberty. They not only have to get used to their extra height, wider hips and different proportions, but they have to do it with a lower percentage of lean muscle mass than before. Hopefully their coaches understand this and do not fall into the trap of overtraining them, putting them at risk for injury. [/quote]
