✦ Synopsis
Skeletal maturia (Tanner-Whitehouse I1 LTW IIl), growth status, and motor fitness were compared in boys having high and low trunWextremity skinfold ratios (TLE ratio). The T/E ratio was based on the sums of the subscapular and midaxillary, and the triceps and medial calf skinfolds. The sample included 80 boys, age 8 through 11 years, who represented the highest and lowest quartiles of the distribution of the T/E ratio (10 boys per quartile in each age group). Chrono-
