Jon L. Oliver is a Professor of Applied Paediatric Exercise Science at Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK, and co-founder of the Youth Physical Development Centre. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand, and Strength and Conditioning Research Lead for the Welsh Institute of Performance Science. He has been at the forefront of challenging old and developing new models of youth athlete development, as well as contributing to contemporary national and international position and expert statements on training youth. This has been supported by experimental research examining how growth and maturation interact with the development of physical fitness, responsiveness to training, injury risk, overtraining, and the health and wellbeing of young athletes.
