Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • No evidence of chronic or acute illness in the month preceding potential enrollment
  • Age between 7 and 9 years

Exclusion Criteria

  • Major congenital abnormalities
  • Illness or chronic use of medication
  • Musculoskeletal, neurological disorder and/or a medication therapy that could alter postural stability and cardiorespiratory function
  • Attending fewer than 80 % of the physical education classes

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

DNA methylation is assessed with the Illumina 900K microarray at baseline, after a 3 month integrated neuromuscular training intervention and will be assessed after a 10 month integrated neuromuscular training intervention

Secondary Outcomes

  • Physical fitness and fundamental motor skills are assessed through validated and standardized testing batteries:1. Endurance – assessed with 800 m run test before and after the intervention2. Speed and agility – assessed with Shuttle run 10 x 5 m test before and after the intervention3. Explosive power of legs - assessed with the standing long jump test before and after the intervention4. Handgrip strength – assessed with an analog hand dynamometer (TKK 5001, Grip-A, Takei, Tokyo, Japan) before and after the intervention5. Flexibility – assessed with the sit-and-reach test before and after the intervention6. Balance – assessed with the closed eyes bipedal test performed on a Wii balance board platform before and after the intervention7. Fundamental motor skills (locomotor, control and manipulative) – assessed with the CAMSA test before and after the intervention
