Summary

The goal of this prospective, cross-sectional study is to develop updated reference values for the Muscle Power Sprint Test (MPST) in children aged 5-12 years.

The main question it aims to answer is:

• What are reference ('normal') values for the MPST in children aged 5-12 years?

Participants will be asked to perform six short sprints of fifteen meters each, with a ten-second rest between each effort.

Muscle Power Sprint Test

The Muscle Power Sprint Test (MPST) is an easy-to-perform field test of anaerobic capacity for children and adolescents. The only necessities for the administration of this test are an open space, a stopwatch and two cones or lines. Test subjects are encouraged to perform six 15-meter sprints at a maximal pace between the two cones/lines, with a 10-second rest in between each effort. The distance covered during these short runs corresponds well to the distances children cover during daily play activities. The power that is generated with each sprint can be calculated using the formula: power = (total mass x 15 m²)/time³.
