Document Summary

Get a new skeletal system every 7 years. Larger q angle leads to increased lateral patellofemoral contact. Smaller q angle leads to larger medial tibiofemoral contact: body composition. Females generally have about 26% body fat, males have around 14% (females have lower lean body mass) Males- subcutaneous fat primarily in abdomen and upper body (increased risk for heart disease: physiological differences. Females have a smaller heart size (increased hr, up to 5 bpm) and thus a lower stroke volume. Few differences between males and females before puberty. Growth spurts for females around age 11, around age 13 for males. After menarche (growth spurt around 12-14) females grow about 5 cm and reach max height by 16-17 years. Growth spurts in males around 12-15 years, reach max height at about 20-21 years: skeletal. Males have about 11kg (24lb) difference because of additional bone and muscle mass.
