Study summary

To examine the impact of a structured physical activity program focused on bone strength in elementary school children in the framework of their physical education classes on:

  1. Bone strength of children participating in the activity.
  2. Physical variables and psycho-motor capabilities: vertical jumping strength, horizontal jumping strength, static balance, dynamic balance and coordination.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Bone strength

    Examination of bone strength will be carried out by using a measuring device called Sunlight Omnisense. This device uses SOS (Speed of Sound) to check bone strength and density.

    Time frame: One year

  2. Bone density

    Examination of bone density will be carried out by using a measuring device called Sunlight Omnisense. This device uses SOS (Speed of Sound) to check bone strength and density.

    Time frame: One year
