Principles of Growth
Height and weight are only one index of physical condition. They must be interpreted in connection with other factors, as organic and muscular conditions, appetite, energy.
Growth is not constant and regular but by spurts. Increase in height and in weight usually do not proceed together but alternate.
Two types of individuals are distinguished:
a. Rapid growth in height and weight until 9 to 12 years
Slower growth 12 to 16 years
Early maturity (12 to 14 years, girls; 13 to 15 years, boys);
b. Slow growth in height and weight until 12 to 12 years
