Purpose: The aims of this study were (1) to develop centile reference values for anaerobic performance of Dutch children tested using the Muscle Power Sprint Test (MPST) and (2) to examine the test-retest reliability of the MPST. Methods: Children who were developing typically (178 boys and 201 girls) and aged 6 to 12 years (mean = 8.9 years) were recruited. The MPST was administered to 379 children, and test-retest reliability was examined in 47 children. MPST scores were transformed into…

Extended Reference Values for the Muscle Power Sprint Test in 6- to 18-Year-Old Children
TLDR
New and more complete MPST normative reference values and curves for children from 6 to 18 years old are now available and are easy and reliably performed by clinicians.
Validity of the Pediatric Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test to Determine Anaerobic Performance in Healthy Children.
TLDR
The pediatric RAST can be used as a valid and nonsophisticated field test for the assessment of anaerobic performance in healthy children and adolescents and is suggested to use MP of the pediatric Rast when assessing glycolytic power in the absence of the WAnT.
Validity of the Muscle Power Sprint Test in Ambulatory Youth With Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
The results of this study show that the MPST is a valid test for measuring anaerobic capacity in children with CP, and that this test can be used as an evaluation tool forAnaerobic performance in exercise interventions focusing on children and adolescents with CP who are able to walk or run independently.
Performance on Functional Strength Measurement and Muscle Power Sprint Test confirm poor anaerobic capacity in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Children's Repetitive and Intermittent Sprinting Performance (CRISP) Test: A new field-based test for assessing anaerobic power and repeated sprint performance in children with developmental coordination disorder.
Psychometric properties of field-based anaerobic capacity tests in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder
TLDR
The findings suggest that field-based anaerobic capacity measures have sound psychometric properties among children with DCD with the exception of the MPST, which is less reliable in children withDCD compared to their typically developing peers, leading to a very large Smallest Detectable Difference.
Commentary on "Extended Reference Values for the Muscle Power Sprint Test in 6- to 18-Year-Old Children".
TLDR
A systematic review of the clinimetric properties of laboratoryand field-based aerobic and anaerobic fitness measures in children with cerebral palsy and their implications for evidence-based medicine/practice in sports physical therapy.
Validity and Reliability of Skill-Related Fitness Tests for Wheelchair-Using Youth With Spina Bifida.
Anaerobic Performance in Children With Cerebral Palsy Compared to Children With Typical Development
TLDR
The difference between the 2 groups increased with height, especially for the children with CP classified at Gross Motor Function Classification System level II, who appear to have impaired anaerobic performance.

Reliability for Running Tests for Measuring Agility and Anaerobic Muscle Power in Children and Adolescents with Cerebal Palsy
TLDR
Both exercise tests are reliable and have good feasibility for children and adolescents with CP (GMFCS level I or II).
Changes in short-term power output in 10- to 12-year-olds
TLDR
In conclusion, thigh muscle volume exerts a positive influence on young people's short‐term power output, which is additional to the effects of body mass, sum of skinfolds and age.
Short term power output in relation to growth and maturation
TLDR
The values of PP and MP for boys are higher than those for girls, and, for MP, sex differences increase with age, but age exerts a positive but non-linear effect on power output independent of body size and fatness.
An evaluation of tests of anaerobic power.
TLDR
The data suggest that both the Wingate and isokinetic endurance tests represent valid laboratory tests for evaluating high-intensity, short-term exercise in which the muscle is primarily dependent upon anaerobic processes for energy release.
Exercise testing of pre-school children using the Bruce treadmill protocol: new reference values
TLDR
For children aged 4 and 5 years the endurance times obtained with the original and half-Bruce protocol are different and should not be considered interchangeable, so the new reference values can be used as reference values for the original Bruce protocol.
Gender differences in peak muscle performance during growth.
TLDR
It was suggested that this sex-related difference was due to total body fat increase, and more specifically lower-limb fat increase during puberty in girls, whilst the boys experienced increased lean body mass.
Short-Term Muscle Power During Growth and Maturation
TLDR
The hypothesis that the difference observed between children and adolescents during STMP testing is more related to neuromuscular factors, hormonal factors and improved motor coordination, rather than being an indicator of reduced lactate-producing glycolysis mechanism is supported.
Exercise training program in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
An exercise training program improves physical fitness, participation level, and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy when added to standard care.
Recreational Sports Participation is Associated with Enhanced Physical Fitness in Children
TLDR
It is suggested that regular participation in recreational sports throughout the year may be associated with higher levels of muscular strength and anaerobic power in children.

TLDR
There is no scientific evidence to support the view that high- intensity and/or resistance training might hinder growth and maturation in young children, but coaches, teachers and parents should be aware that unsupervised high-intensity and resistance training programmes involving maximal loads or too frequently repeated resistance exercises increase the risk of injury.
