## Abstract Pre‐ and early puberty may be the most opportune time to strengthen the female skeleton, but there are few longitudinal data to support this claim. Competitive female premenarcheal (pre/peri, __n__ = 13) and postmenarcheal (post, __n__ = 32) tennis players aged 10 to 17 years were follo
