Children's physical inactivity and increasing sedentary behaviour have become major public health concerns, with a concurrent decline in muscular fitness (MF) contributing to poor physical outcomes during childhood and adolescence, highlighting the importance of developing resistance training (RT) programs. Furthermore, several educational strategies such as gamification seem to increase students' motivation which can produce an increase in performance outcomes. This study describes the rationale and protocol of a school-based randomized controlled trial called "RETRAGAM" (REsistance TRAining based on GAMification).

Materials And Methods: A sample of children and adolescents (n = 84, 6‒17.9 years) from an ongoing trial (INTERACT: NCT04706676) was randomly assigned to an integrative neuromuscular training (INT) intervention or active control intervention during treatment.
Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effects of treadmill walking warm-ups (TW) against dynamic warm-ups (DW) on youth's cardiopulmonary exercise testing responses.
- The experiment involved 16 active youth (around age 14) who underwent peak oxygen uptake tests after different 6-minute warm-ups on separate days.
- Results showed that DW led to a significantly higher maximum heart rate and other measures during the test, although both warm-ups resulted in similar peak oxygen uptake levels.
Objective: This study evaluated the relationship between physical literacy (PL) and muscular fitness (MF) as well as muscle-strengthening activities (MSA) in adolescents.
Methods: A secondary cross-sectional study included 823 adolescents (45.1% boys) from the Eating Healthy and Daily Life Activities Study.
