Measured values of the central growth plate surface area (CGPSA) in mm2 and the calculated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in mm/s × 10−3 around the knees (N = 18) of adolescent soccer players before and after an intensive activity. Data is presented as mean (SD); statistically significant pairs are marked with ∗.
