All results were compared to the reference values of each single test item (32).

^ϕStatic balance was assessed counting the contacts with a foot to the ground while balancing on a rail; in this context, a negative difference to reference values represents fewer contacts and therefore better results.

^#For the test items static balance and flexibility, the absolute differences were used as the measured values would have fluctuated around zero and would have given oversized percentages.

Due to insufficient number of participants, the comparison regarding the test item upper extremity coordination was disregarded (reference values only provided for children aged 6 and 10 years).

M, median; abs, indicates absolute.

Bold numbers indicate significant values (p ≤ 0.05).
