Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcomes are the reduction of increases of age related growth in the anthropometric parameters like subscapular skin fold thickness, abdominal circumference and the covered distance in a six-minute-run as difference between the follow-up measurements and baseline measurements. For this purpose, trained teams tested not only the children’s motor skills but also carry out physical examinations within a regular school day at two points in time.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes are the changes (difference of follow-up measurements and baseline measurements) in the following parameters: - anthropometric parameters (e.g. BMI) - child’s quality of life - child’s motor skills in sports - child’s cognitive achievements - child’s nutrition - child’s physical activity - child’s time spent with screen media - environment of the school With questionnaires not only teachers and parents but also children were polled at the two testing points. Measurements regarding cognitive skills as well as physical examination and motor skills in sports were taken by trained teams during regular school time. Accelerometers were used in order to examine the children’s physical activity.	—
