Bio-Banding in Youth Sports: Background, Concept, and Application.
Malina, R.M., Cumming, S.P., Rogol, A.D. et al. Sports Med 49, 1671–1685 (2019).
During puberty, athletes of the same age can differ immensely in size, maturity status and physical functioning. Taller and stronger athletes have the advantage and the real talents are often overlooked.
Maturity-based benchmarking & bio-banding allows you to assess talent during the interval of pubertal growth, to look beyond performance and focus on potential.
Hit the ground running: start with our off-the-shelf test sets & benchmarks for your sport and we’ll build your dedicated model together.
Collect data to discover strengths and weaknesses
Identify talent – before, during and after puberty
Account for maturity status and growth
Individualize development pathways
Results are available immediately after testing. The platform translates raw test data into graphic and actionable reports, with your athletes at the heart of the equation. Take data-driven decisions and use maturity and growth as a basis for individual development pathways.
Use the age or biological age of each athlete, with our reference values or your own
Monitor individual and team progress, set targets
You can combine different formulas and Artifical intelligence
