Do the world class gymnasts have delayed puberty or just in limbo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Gymnast due to the strenous excersice do have delayed sexual maturation because your body postpones functions that are not necesary for life sustenance. The same thing happens in women marathon runners. In men this does not apply.
