Tanner Staging (Adolescent Growth)

Tanner Staging is used in sports medicine to estimate maturation status, which is more predictive of injury risk (e.g., apophysitis) and performance than chronological age alone. Stage 3–4 often coincides with the Peak Height Velocity (PHV) "danger zone" for growth-related injuries.
