What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Aerobic Capacity

    By using 20-m shuttle run test, which is validated to measure maximal aerobic capacity in children from 4 years.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Muscle Strength

    By using standing long jump test

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Flexibility

    By using the sit and reach test

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Speed-agility

    By using 4x10 meters shuttle run test

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Health-related quality of life

    By using the instrument for assessing Health-Related Quality of Life for children and adolescents aged 4-17 years (KINDL), in its version validated in Spanish. The KINDLR questionnaire consists of 24 Likert-scaled items associated with six dimensions: physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, friends and everyday functioning (school or nursery school/kindergarten). The sub-scales of these six dimensions can be combined to produce a total score. the score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
