      The influence of biological maturity and competitive level on isometric 
      force-time curve variables and vaulting performance in young female gymnasts. J 
      Strength Cond Res 34(8): 2136-2145, 2020-This cross-sectional study investigated 
      isometric force-time curve variables and vaulting performance in young female 
      gymnasts of varying maturity and competitive levels. One hundred twenty gymnasts 
      aged 5-14 years were subdivided into maturity groupings and also according to 
      their competitive level. Subjects performed isometric midthigh pulls (IMTP) 
      before completing straight jump vaults that were recorded using two-dimensional 
      video. All significance values were accepted at p < 0.05. Absolute peak force (PF 
      abs) and force at various time epochs were significantly greater in more mature 
      gymnasts, although no significant differences were observed in relative peak 
      force (PF rel). When grouped by competitive level, elite gymnasts produced a 
      significantly greater absolute rate of force development (RFD abs) at 0-150, 
      0-200, and 0-250 ms as well as relative RFD (RFD rel) at 0-200 and 0-250 ms than 
      recreational gymnasts. Based upon regression analyses, force at 50 ms during the 
      IMTP test explained 15% of vertical takeoff velocity during vaulting. Biological 
      maturation seems to impact isometric force-time curve characteristics in young 
      female gymnasts, and higher-level gymnasts produce greater RFD than those 
      competing at a lower level. Vaulting vertical takeoff velocity seems to be 
      largely independent of isometric force-time characteristics with only a small 
      amount of variance explained by force at 50 ms.
