Adolescent biological maturity and physical activity: biology meets behavior.
The decline in physical activity (PA) across adolescence is well established but influence of biological maturity on the process has been largely overlooked. This paper reviews the limited number of studies which examine the relationship between timing of biological maturity and PA. Results are generally inconsistent among studies. Other health-related behaviors are also considered in an effort...

E arly scientists were drawn to the study of insects in part because of the marvelous notion that their full behavioral repertoire was orchestrated from within. This was stated most succinctly perhaps by Spalding (1873): “When, as by a miracle, the lovely butterfly bursts from the chrysalis fullwinged and perfect, . . .it has, for the most part, nothing to learn, because its little life flows f...
متن کاملThe mediating role of physical self-concept on relations between biological maturity status and physical activity in adolescent females.
The current study examined the mediating role of physical self-concept on relations between biological maturity status and self-reported physical activity in adolescent British females. Biological maturity status, physical self-concept and physical activity were assessed in 407 female British year 7-9 pupils (M age = 13.2 years, SD = 1.0).

متن کاملDoes controlling for biological maturity improve physical activity tracking?
UNLABELLED Tracking of physical activity through childhood and adolescence tends to be low. Variation in the timing of biological maturation within youth of the same chronological age (CA) might affect participation in physical activity and may partially explain the low tracking. PURPOSE To examine the stability of physical activity over time from childhood to late adolescence when aligned on...
متن کاملChemical biology meets biological chemistry minireview series.
What is the difference between “biological chemistry” and “chemical biology?” One of us (J. M. G.) received his Ph.D. at an institution where the biochemistry building was called the Laboratory of Chemical Biology, but that was a long time ago, and things have changed. Biological chemistry (or biochemistry), that is the study of life processes at the molecular level, is now quite distinct from ...
