An analysis of the relative age effect in elite youth judo, examining birth-date distribution among selected athletes.
The PROMACHOS reading
Selection systems quietly reward maturity and call it talent. Any institution that assesses young people must design around this bias or it will reproduce it.
This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
