Before age 10, hardly any improvement in force performance is observed. A slight but linear increase is observed until 12 years of age due to weight gain and developing leg strength, which coincides with a period of improved coordination.
2. Until the Year 1930 to 1935
Until this time, significant changes in force are observed. This is due to hormonal changes and verifies that the increase of testosterone coincides with the maximum explosive force
