In this paper the correlations between parameters quantifying the mid-growth spurt (MS) and the pubertal spurt (PS) of height are explored. These parameters are defined in individual acceleration, velocity, and distance curves, which are obtained via kernel estimates as previously introduced. The MS proves to be a phenomenon largely independent of the PS. Intensity, timing, and duration of the PS are also independent mechanisms of growth and neither of them influences adult height in an appreciable way. Adult height depends mostly on pre-adolescent velocity. Short-, medium- and long-term regulatory mechanisms for explaining height growth are considered. For short-term mechanisms, acceleration plays a crucial role.
