Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Statistical analysis To answer the research questions the IMF maximum muscle force in Newton out of three measurements and the raw and normalized scores for the AIMS will be calculated for each age group. · To test the intrarater reliability the correlation between IMF-test-1 (at the beginning) and IMF-test-2 (at the end) performed by the same tester will be calculated for each different age group. To test the interrater reliability the correlation between IMF-test-1 and IMF-test-2 performed by two different testers will be calculated for each different age group. · To test the construct validity the correlation between IMF and motor development test (AIMS) will be calculated for each different age group. · Reference values will be calculated using means and standard deviations for each different age group. If necessary different values will be used for boys and girls.	—
