| Description | The first publications about the theory of the age effect - theory of the influence of age, appeared in sports science in the 80s of the last century. Though it was not as long as the last few years we have encountered with a research of this particular topic more regularly. The theory is based on the assumption that the athletes born at the beginning of the calendar year are, mainly in the junior age, more successful than later born athletes. This has been shown in many studies especially in ice hockey, soccer, tennis but also in other sports. |
