This article has a ton of information on adolescent development such as physical development and their behavior. It gives statistics and shows the differences between boys and girls adolescent development. It also gives parenting advice about their kids sexuality and safety tips.
This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public.

"Whether surgical or nonsurgical treatment is better for individuals with completely displaced midshaft clavicle fractures is controversial. There is particularly little evidence for adolescents, despite the fact that they’re the most commonly affected population. According to a new study, surgery is not superior to nonoperative treatment for restoring function and preventing complications in this patient group and may instead pose greater risks for this young population. The findings are published in _The American Journal of Sports Medicine_. In completely displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, also called displaced diaphyseal fractures, the clavicle breaks near the midpoint, and the broken ends shift out of alignment. While immobilization with a simple shoulder sling is the traditional mode of treatment, surgical treatment has become more common..."

"Parents can do a lot to help kids get back on their feet after ACL surgery, from making sure they get the rest and nutrition they need to ensuring crucial physical therapy appointments are kept. A new study in The American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests a more personal investment might also be important to recovery. Researchers report that parents who donate a hamstring tendon for use as a surgical graft could improve their kids’ outcomes for years. Although hamstring tendon autografts are a common choice for ACL reconstruction, pediatric patients have unique characteristics that complicate this option. Taking a graft from a child still in development may cause persisting hamstring strength deficits and problems with walking and running. It’s also difficult to obtain a graft that’s large enough to prevent reinjury. These issues prompted researchers to take a closer look at how kids fare after ACL reconstruction using a graft donated from a parent..."

Why do teenagers seem so much more impulsive, so much less self-aware than grown-ups? Cognitive neuroscientist Sarah-Jayne Blakemore compares the prefrontal cortex in adolescents to that of adults, to show us how typically "teenage" behavior is caused by the growing and developing brain.

"Setting out to better understand the potential barriers limiting female involvement in sports, a recent study found that for adolescent girls, social aspects of sports clubs – such as positive and welcoming environments – were the most important factors in determining participation. Physical activity is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. But an estimated 80% of adolescents worldwide do not meet minimum exercise recommendations. With benefits ranging from weight management to reducing the risks of cancer to improving mental health, this lack of activity is contributing to a global health crisis. Recently, much focus has been given to sports participation by young girls. This research has uncovered a troubling trend: girls are less active than their male counterparts. And this trend only becomes more pronounced with age..."

"Baseball pitchers aren’t born knowing how to throw a ball – it takes years of training and practice to hone this ability. Although prior studies have examined how throwing mechanics differ between youth and adult pitchers, no reports have followed the same group of individuals year after year to watch their skills develop. Now, a US-based research team has sequentially tracked young pitchers to identify the biomechanical changes that occur as a pitcher sharpens their skills. The researchers recruited kids from youth baseball leagues who were in their first season playing as pitcher. Each participant was asked to throw 10 full-effort fastballs from the pitching mound to home plate. Before throwing, the pitcher was outfitted with 23 retroreflective markers. The three-dimensional motions of these markers were tracked through 12 synchronized high-speed cameras..."
