Brief Summary:
The goal of this prospective cross-sectional study is to develop updated reference values for the Muscle Power Sprint Test MPST in children aged 5-12 years
The main question it aims to answer is
What are reference normal values for the MPST in children aged 5-12 years
Participants will be asked to perform six short sprints of fifteen meters each with a ten-second rest between each effort

Detailed Description:
SUMMARY Rationale Children with congenital abnormalities face risks of below-average lung function and exercise tolerance 1-3 As the standard of care our tertiary hospital enrolls these children in a prospective longitudinal follow-up program from birth 4 This program involves regular assessments of overall health and development including spirometry and exercise tolerance tests conducted by pediatric physiotherapists Historically the Bruce treadmill protocol was employed for testing maximal exercise tolerance in children aged 4 and above but it presented limitations such as high muscular demands of the steep inclines and large workload increments impacting reliability and potentially causing premature discontinuation 5
In response the Bruce protocol was replaced in newer follow-up program versions by the Muscle Power Sprint Test MPST Unlike the Bruce protocol which assesses aerobic capacity the MPST focuses on anaerobic exercise capacity which is crucial for childrens daily activities like playing with peers 6 Performing the MPST involves six short runs of 15 meters from which the calculated mean power serves as the primary outcome The distance covered during these runs corresponds well to the distances children cover during daily play activities
While Dutch norm values for children aged 6-18 exist gathered mainly in rural areas between 2012 and 2016 the study highlights the need for updated reference values Lifestyle changes exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic underscore the urgency of updating exercise tolerance reference values 7 Notably there is a current lack of established reference values for 5-year-olds undergoing MPST testing in our longitudinal follow-up program emphasizing the need for comparative data in this age group
Objective Our primary goal is to establish reference values for the MPST for primary school children aged 5-12 belonging to a diverse population living in the Netherlands
Study design The study adopts a prospective cross-sectional design
Study population Primary school or after-school childcare children aged 5-12 years
Intervention if applicable The MPST which involves six 15-meter sprints at maximum pace between the two coneslines with a 10-second rest in between each effort
Main study parametersendpoints The primary outcome is generating reference values for the MPST for typical children aged 5-12
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation benefit and group relatedness We believe the risks of experiencing drawbacks from study participation are minimal The Muscle Power Sprint Test MPST is non-invasive involving six short consecutive 15-meter sprints - similar to activities children commonly engage in such as games like tag or hide-and-seek - with a 10-second rest after every run Individual testing and warm-up rounds further mitigate potential risks and we estimate the likelihood of injuries or adverse effects to be lower than those encountered in a standard physical education class
