About this trial

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.
