Comparisons of anthropometry, somatic maturation, and training experience between children and adolescents.
Fig 2.
Mixed two-way repeated measures analysis of variance for maximal power output (Pmax, (A)), theoretical maximal force (F0, (B)), and theoretical maximal velocity (v0, (C)) between children (blue solid line) and adolescents (red dotted line). Post hoc results for the main block effect are represented for children and adolescents between each block. The significance for each group concerning the final decrement is represented (B1 vs B7).

Descriptive data and mixed two-way repeated measures analysis of variance for F-v parameters between children and adolescents.
Fig 3.
Mixed two-way repeated measures analysis of variance for Fatigue Index (A), rating of perceived exertion (RPE, (B)), and mean heart rate (HRmean, (C)) between children (blue solid line) and adolescents (red dotted line). Post hoc results for the main block effect are represented for children and adolescents between each block. The significance for each group concerning the final decrement is represented (B1 vs B7).
