“…The similarities between this study and ours are that the early maturing individuals in our study are taller, heavier, and have stronger grip strength in both hands than the individuals in the findings. De Almeida-Neto (2022) [ 39 ] investigated the impact of bone mass on upper and lower limb muscle strength in male and female adolescent athletes and non-athletes. The upper limb strength had a significant effect on the bone mass of adolescent athletes of both sexes.…”

“…Additionally, it was found that maturation has a large effect size on the bone mass of female athletes, but chronological age has a large effect size on the bone mass of male athletes. In contrast, for the control group of both sexes, chronological age, maturity, and characteristics associated with muscle strength had large effects on BMD and BMC [ 39 ]. A phenomenon similar to our study is the effect of biological maturity on vertical jump and hand grip strength.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adolescents’ biological maturation level and their muscle power, as well as their overall muscle strength. Overall, 691 adolescents (414 boys and 277 girls) aged 12.01–11.96 (measured for body mass, body height as well as vertical jump, muscle power, and muscle strength). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of average right and left grip strength, vertical jump, and power in the late maturation group. For the body height and vertical jump averages in male adolescents, it was observed that the body height and vertical jump averages in the late group were significantly lower than in the early and on-time maturation groups. For female adolescents’ chronological age, sitting height, body mass, BMI, left and right grip strength, and power averages were found to be significantly higher compared with the on-time group (p < 0.05). It was established that biological maturation has a substantial link with vertical jump height and power, as well as grip strength on the right and left hands.
