Activity Level Questionnaire is on a 10-point scale with higher values indicating higher activity level (standard deviation).
Breath Hold Time- Breathing holding at Functional Residual Volume measured in seconds (standard deviation).
FMS™- Functional Movement Screen which includes 7 different movements each scored on a 0-3 ordinal scale.
