RESUMO

The results of the motor performance (MP) in adolescence can be inaccurate if the growth factors, biological age and chronological age (CA) are not considered. The bony age (BA) is recognized as an efficient biological indicator, like this, the identification of BA in function of the growth and results upon MP was here the object of study in 233 from 9 to 16 years of both sexes students (femme=109; male=114). BA was determined by x-ray of the wrist and hands, and the MP was measure in physical fitness tests. BA was larger (0.7 years) and including than CA, with larger effects in the female sex. The girls were more mature than boys in all the ages, though they presented larger averages of MP, height, weight and smaller fat value. The growth was more concordant with BA while MP with CA, without statistical significance for both sexes. In conclusion, when classifying adolescents according to the growth, the maturation is indispensable, however when the MP is involved, the information of IC and sex are enough.
