Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>1. Longitudinal motor development: comparison of the total score and subscale<br /><br>scores of the m-ABC with previous m-ABC results at 5.5 and 8 years of age.<br /><br>2. Fitness has no composite outcome measure. However, reference values **do<br /><br>exist for the individual components relating to fitness (endurance, muscle<br /><br>strength, aerobic and anaerobic capacity).</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>1. Can we predict physical fitness at the age of 10-12 years based on previous<br /><br>follow-up assessments. Are there neonatal predictors (gestational age; birth<br /><br>weight; gender, etc.)?<br /><br>2. Approximately 25% of preterm infants have a total m-ABC score <= 5 at ages 5<br /><br>and 8 and are at risk for a developmental coordination disorder (DCD). How many<br /><br>children aged 10-12 with a total score <= 5 on the M-ABC experience difficulties<br /><br>in daily life or physical participation?</p><br>
