The European Hockey Academy applies the following growth charts within it's analysis:
U.S. CDC's Growth Charts:
CDC Growth Charts of National Center for Health Statistics of U.S. Centers for disease control and prevention (HQ at University Town Center in Hyattsville, Maryland, U.S.A.
The growth charts consist of a series of percentile curves that illustrate the distribution of selected body measurements in U.S. children. Pediatric growth charts have been used by pediatricians, nurses, and parents to track the growth of infants, children, and adolescents in the United States since 1977. Growth charts are not intended to be used as a sole diagnostic instrument. Instead, growth charts are tools that contribute to forming an overall clinical impression for the child being measured.
