The total sample was divided into three longitudinal samples related to growth and maturation (childhood: 6 to 10 years; early adolescence: 11 to 16 years; and late adolescence: 17 to 20 years), and six multilevel regression models were obtained. Generally, both jumping protocols emphasized that chronological age, body size dimensions (by means of fat mass in the childhood and early adolescence groups, fat-free mass in the late adolescence group and stature - not for CMJ in childhood group) and motor coordination (one item of a three-component test battery) are longitudinal predictors of explosive leg power from childhood to young adulthood. The contribution of maturational status was not investigated in this study. The present findings highlight the i...
