A comparative study of development of strength abilities in normal and deaf and dumb girls between 8 to 14 years is administered on around 350 students of different schools who were taking formal education. Out of 350 students 175 were selected from normal category and 175 from physically challenged i.e., deaf and dumb category. In each 25 girls were selected (25 subjects in normal girls and in each age group i.e., 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14 years totaling to 175; 25 subjects in deaf and dumb in each age group i.e., 8, 9, 10 11, 12, 13 & 14 years totaling to 175). These subjects were tested initially in Upper extremity explosive strength, Abdomen explosive strength, Lower extremity explosive strength and the same subjects were exposed to the same tests after exactly one year without any formal sports training and the development in their strength abilities were noted. After the statistical treatment of data by utilizing 't' and 'f' test the following findings were noted: The hands and legs strength development in normal girls is found to be steadily increasing from 8 th to 14 th year whereas the abdominal strength development is observed reducing. The deaf dumb girls have good steady increase development in hand, abdomen and legs.

But can be developed at higher age groups.
A comparative study of development of strength abilities in normal and deaf and dumb boys between 8 to 14 years is administered on around 350 students of different schools who were taking formal education. Out of 350 students 175 were selected from normal category and 175 from physically challenged i.e., deaf and dumb category. In each 25 boys were selected (25 subjects in normal boys and in each age group i.e., 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14 years totaling to 175; 25 subjects in deaf and dumb in each age group i.e., 8, 9, 10 11, 12, 13 & 14 years totaling to 175). These subjects were tested initially in Upper extremity explosive strength, Abdomen explosive strength, Lower extremity explosive strength and the same subjects were exposed to the same tests after exactly one year without any formal sports training and the development in their strength abilities were noted. After the statistical treatment of data by utilizing't' test the following findings were noted: in case of normal boys the development of strength in upper extremity is observed highest at the age of 14 whereas the abdominal strength at the age of 11 th year and 12 th years in lower extremity at 12 th year in lower extremity at 12 th year. The development of hands, abdomen and leg strength is found at 14 th year of age of deaf dumb boys.

Changes in flexibility according to gender and educational stage
2009
Flexibility is one of the basic physical qualities that are worked on both in elementary and secondary education but not at the university stage. Of the four basic physical qualities, flexibility is the only quality that progressively diminishes with age. We selected a sample of 410 subjects (42% males vs. 58% females) aged 6 to 30 years old from Granada and AlmerÃa. To collect data, the deep trunk flexion test was used, establishing that the mean flexibility among the sample was 22.25 cm. By gender, females (X = 22.82 cm) were more flexible than males (X = 21.46 cm). The highest flexor capacity values were achieved between the ages of 10 and 11 years, with these values steadily decreasing with age. Consequently, the highest peaks of flexibility were found in primary education (24.98 cm) while the lowest values were found in university education (19.50 cm). Finally, as reported in the literature consulted, the results of this study found that average flexibility decreases with age.
Developmental Characteristics of Motor Abilities of Secondary School Girls
Facta Universitatis Series Physical Education and Sport, 2015
This study was conducted on a sample of 710 high school girls, ranging from freshmen to seniors, who were divided into four sub-samples according to their chronological age: 180 female freshmen, 177 female sophomores, 177 female juniors and 176 female seniors. The aim of the study was to determine the differences in the developmental trend of motor abilities for students from 14 to 18 years of age. The testing of their motor abilities was done during regular physical education classes with 11 tests of motor skills that assessed speed, strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. The characteristics of the variables and sample size allowed the application of univariate analysis of variance and multivariate statistical factor analysis. The results showed the uneven growth of some abilities from the ages of 14 to 18. Students achieved the best results at the age of 15 and after that they halted or slightly declined. The largest decline in the results was determined for the balance test (MSUK) and static strength test (MVIS). A somewhat lesser decline was determined in the flexibility test (MDPK), and that is probably because of the decreased activity of the female population in this age group (a trend recorded in several studies), and it is known that flexibility is developed and maintained exclusively by exercise. An explanation of these results may be in the students' generally reduced level of physical activity, inadequate effects of physical education classes and insufficient engagement of society in general in solving these problems.
