Muscle power sprint test in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study is measuring how fast and powerful kids' legs are during a short sprint test. Researchers want to collect normal values from healthy children so doctors can compare results in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 5 to 12 years old.
- Your child attends a participating primary school or after-school center.
- Your child should not have a heart or lung condition that makes intense exercise risky.
- Your child should not have an injury that prevents them from doing their best.
- Your child should not have a condition, like a movement disorder, that limits exercise.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how strong children's arms and hands are and how quickly they get tired during everyday activities. It helps doctors understand normal development in typically developing children.
This study tests whether short, intense strength exercises can help older adults build muscle and stay stronger. You'll do exercises designed to build power (the ability to move quickly and forcefully) over several weeks, and researchers will measure changes in your strength and daily function.
This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
This study tests a type of strength training called functional power training for children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps kids be more active and take part in daily activities.
This study measures leg muscle strength in healthy children ages 5 to 16 to better understand normal development. If your child is developing typically and can follow instructions, they may be able to join.
