| Musculoskeletal problems (injuries, defined as inability to participate in sports) | Total incidence of musculoskeletal problems across 2.5 years | Weekly short-message-service tracking of participants to determine severity, frequency and nature (acute/overuse) of injuries. |
| Height (centimeters) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained personal using a stadiometer. |
| Body-mass index (kg/m^2) | Change over 2 years | Calculated from measured height and weight |
| Waist circumference (centimeters) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained personal at the level of the umbilical cord |
| DXA determined body fat (%) | Change over 2 years | In subcohort only. Standardized assessments performed by trained personal. |
| Serum fasting insulin (IU/l) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained biomedical laboratory technicians. Fasting status affirmed verbally. |
| Serum fasting triglycerides (mmol/l) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained biomedical laboratory technicians. Fasting status affirmed verbally. |

| Serum fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/l) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained biomedical laboratory technicians. Fasting status affirmed verbally. |
| Serum fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/l) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained biomedical laboratory technicians. Fasting status affirmed verbally. |
| Serum fasting C-reactive protein (mg/l) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained biomedical laboratory technicians. Fasting status affirmed verbally. |
| Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) | Change over 2 years | Calculated as fasting insulin (IU/l) x fasting glucose (mmol/l))/ 22.5 |
| Resting systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
| Resting diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) | Change over 2 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
| Composite risk factor score (z-scores) | Change over 2 years | Standardized (z-scores) values of HOMA-IR, triglycerides, cholesterol-fractions, systolic blood pressure, and cardiorespiratory fitness |
| Cardiorespiratory fitness (meters) | Change over 2 years | Performance on indirect cardiorespiratory fitness test (Andersen-test). Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
| Handgrip strength (kg) | Change over 2.5 years | Maximal strength measured by a dynamometer. Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
| Agility (seconds) | Change over 2.5 years | Measured by the 50 meter short-shuttle test. Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
| Backward balance (0-72 points) | Change over 2.5 years | From the Korperkoordinations Test fur Kinder. Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
| Maximal vertical jump performance (centimeters) | Change over 2.5 years | Standardized assessments performed by trained personal |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physical activity determined objectively using waist-worn accelerometry. Participants will be asked to wear the monitors for at least one week. | Non-specific follow-up duration as multiple time-points are considered (follow-up at 2, 3.5 and 6.5 years) | Physical activity outcomes include; mean count/min, light-physical activity, moderate-physical activity, vigorous-physical activity. First physical activity assessment made during year 1 of the intervention |
