Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children Score	15-20 mins	The PAQ-C comprises ten items and higher scores indicate a higher level of activity. The first item of the PAQ-C consists of 22 common sports and leisure activities for which the participants select the score based on the frequency of the activity performed during the preceding seven days on a five-point rating scale, after which a mean composite score was calculated. The remaining eight items address physical activities performed during the day, for example, physical education classes, recess time, lunchtime, as well as afterschool activities on weekday evenings and weekends, and finally a summary for all days of the week. The mean score of the first nine items is the summary score of the PAQ-C. The tenth item inquires about any unusual circumstances (e.g., sickness) that affected/prevented the child's physical activity in the seven days preceding the assessment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
LASr	30-45 minutes	Left atrial strain - Reservuar
Physical activity barriers (Parent) scale score	15-20 minutes	The original scale consists of 13 items and two dimensions. The Turkish adapted version of the scale consists of two dimensions and 11 items. Items 1-6 in the scale constitute the "Environmental barriers" sub-dimension and items 7-11 constitute the "Personal barriers" sub-dimension. Total scores are obtained separately for the two sub-dimensions of the scale. The score range varies between 6 (min) and 30 (max) for the "Environmental barriers" sub-dimension and between 5 (min) and 25 (max) for the "Personal barriers" sub-dimension. The higher score in the sub-dimensions indicates the magnitude of the barriers to physical activity in those areas for the participant.
Physical Activity Home Environment (Child) scale score	15-20 minutes	The scale is a triple likert type scale consisting of 5 items. - The score range of the scale is 5-15. - A high score on the scale indicates that the family supports the child to be more physically active.
VO2peak	30-45 minutes	Peak oxygen uptake
aPWV	15-20 minutes	Arterial pulse wave velocity
GLS	30-45 minutes	Global longitudinal strain for LV function
LAScd	30-45 minutes	Left atrial strain - Conduit
LASct	30-45 minutes	Left atrial strain - Contractile
Physical Activity Outcome Expectancies (Child) scale score	15-20 minutes	The scale is a three-point Likert-type scale consisting of 17 items and two dimensions. The "Negative outcome expectancies" sub-dimension of the scale consists of items 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14 and 16 and the "Positive outcome expectancies" sub-dimension consists of items 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15 and 17. Total scores are obtained separately for the two dimensions. The score that can be obtained from the 9 items related to the negative outcome expectancies sub-dimension varies between 9 and 17. The score that can be obtained from 8 items related to the positive outcome expectancy sub-dimension varies between 8 and 24. A high score in the negative outcome expentancies sub-dimension indicates an excess of negative expectations about physical activity. A high score on the Positive Outcome Expentancies sub-dimension indicates an excess of positive expectations about physical activity.
