Adolescent growth spurt is the fast and intense increase in the rate of growth in height and weight that occurs during the adolescent stage of the human life cycle. This growth practically occurs in all of the long bones and most other skeletal elements. No other primate species, including the chimpanzee, is known to have such a global post-pubertal increase in skeletal growth velocity.
Growth during puberty appears to be strictly genetically regulated. From 50% to 80% of the variation in the timing of puberty has been found to be because of genetic differences between individuals. Thank you.
