Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Physical activity (sedentary behavior, active commuting to school, sports activities, total physical activity) is measured using a validated Physical Activity Questionnaire (hours/week) at baseline, 1 and 2 years follow up	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Physical performance level (coordination, flexibility, endurance, strength, speed and body height and body weight) measured using the Eurofit test battery at baseline, 1 and 2 years follow up. The measurements include: long jump (cm), bent arm hang (seconds), 10x5 mini shuttle run (seconds), sit & reach (cm), plate tapping (seconds), sit-ups (number/30 seconds), grip strength (kg), body weight (kg), body length (cm), sum of skinfolds (mm)	—
