Abstract
This paper is to discuss the sequence of age at MPV of height and weight in male athletes. In order to determine the age at MPV (Maximum Peak Velocity), the WIM (Wavelet Interpolation Method) was applied to longitudinal height and weight growth data of ages 6 to 17, and they were determined in fifteen male athletes (basketball: 6, track and field: 9). As control group, the ages at MPV of height and weight in 100 males who have standard stature (169-175cm) were determined by the WIM as well. The age at MPV of height in athletes group occurred earlier than in control group. It is suggested that the male athletes are of earlier matured type. On the sequence of age at MPV of height and weight, it is inferred that the case of same sequence appears more frequently than the case of regular sequence in the male athletes.
