Bio-banding refers to the process of grouping young athletes based on their biological growth and maturation status rather than their chronological age.  Young people of the same age can often exhibit significant differences in size, physical function, and behavioral maturity, with some maturing earlier or later than their peers. These individual differences have important implications for competition, training, and talent identification, particularly in athletes. The bio-banding approach allows for maturity matching by grouping young athletes according to their biological characteristics. Current evidence suggests that biological grouping increases fairness in competition, encourages technical and tactical participation, and supports the self-confidence and motivation of late-maturing athletes. However, the potential benefits of bio-banding for appropriate training loads, injury prevention, and conditioning assessment should be examined more closely, especially in adolescent athletes. This overview combines physiological, psychological, sociological, and applied sports science perspectives to provide an expanded explanation of the biological age grouping framework.
