This is not the case. We did not observe any sex-by-group interactions, or even trends toward such interactions, for height (P>.33), weight (P>.90), or body bulk (P>.64). As can be seen from Table 1, group differences in body size variables were not restricted to boys but were also found for girls. Indeed, effect sizes (Cohen d)2 for females ranged from 0.21 to 0.31 and were, if anything, slightly higher than effect sizes for males (0.21-0.21).
