Physical Development for Adolescence

Adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood, bringing changes in body and sexual maturity. In females, estrogens and androgens influence growth and maturation, including menarche and completion of growth by 16. For males, testosterone and estrogen play key roles in physical changes, with strength, speed, and endurance increasing alongside spermarche. Growth typically concludes by 17 and a half, with enhanced red blood cell production. Sleep patterns also undergo changes during this developmental stage.
