Values are standardized regression coefficients (β), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and p values from linear regression analyses in which ST, PAEE, and CRF were entered simultaneously with years from peak height velocity, body fat percentage, and cardiometabolic risk score into the models. P values < 0.05 indicating statistically significant associations are in bold
