Setting: Rehabilitation centres and schools for special education in The Netherlands.

We12BFit!-Improving Physical Fitness in 7-12-Year-Old Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder: Protocol of a Multicenter Single-Arm Mixed-Method Study.

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are less physically fit than their typically developing peers. No substantiated treatments are available for children with DCD to address this issue. This study aims to describe 1.

We12BFit!-Improving lifestyle physical activity in children aged 7-12 years with developmental coordination disorder: protocol of a multicentre single-arm mixed-method study.

Introduction: Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are less physically active than their typically developing peers. No substantiated interventions are available to address this issue. Therefore, this study aims to describe the design and rationale of (1) a family-focused intervention to increase motivation for physical activity (PA) and, indirectly, lifestyle PA in children aged 7-12 years with DCD and (2) the methods to examine its preliminary effectiveness and feasibility.

Characteristics of physical activity interventions and effects on cardiorespiratory fitness in children aged 6-12 years-A systematic review.

Objectives: To examine the characteristics of physical activity (PA) interventions and the effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in healthy children based on treatment theory.

Design: Systematic review.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for studies published between 2003 and 2016.
