Name	Time	Method
Speed-agility	1 year	By using 4x10 meters shuttle run test
Flexibility	1 year	By using the sit and reach test
Aerobic Capacity	1 year	By using 20-m shuttle run test, which is validated to measure maximal aerobic capacity in children from 4 years.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Health-related quality of life	1 year	By using the instrument for assessing Health-Related Quality of Life for children and adolescents aged 4-17 years (KINDL), in its version validated in Spanish. The KINDLR questionnaire consists of 24 Likert-scaled items associated with six dimensions: physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, friends and everyday functioning (school or nursery school/kindergarten).
