Development of juvenile sprint performance in boys: analysis of speed phases—a cross-sectional study by age
Sprint phase distribution changes markedly during adolescence, with older boys demonstrating longer acceleration and <i>V</i> <sub>max</sub> phases alongside reduced deceleration. Extended acceleration phases are the strongest determinant of 100 m performance. The presented regression tools offer practical options for estimating <i>V</i> <sub>max</sub> and acceleration characteristics when advanced technology is not available.
