Rowing, hockey, six-pin bowling, rugby and archery were all on offer as part of a bid to inspire youth and introduce more children to sport and an active lifestyle.

The respective National Federations for the sports were on hand to organise the demonstrations, as well as mini-competitions for the youngsters.

Generation Now, taking place in capital San Salvador, is the first edition of a music festival aiming to "celebrate, empower and inspire the youth of Central America".

The Festival is the latest initiative backed by ESNOC with the aim of supporting youth.

Staff from the governing body also donated blankets collected by the country's Olympic team to newborn babies.

The idea is to "welcome the future generation" of potential Olympic athletes and to promote Olympic values from the very first moments of life.

El Salvador are still waiting for their first Olympic medal of any colour.

The Central American nation sent eight athletes to Rio 2016 in August, including pistol shooter Lilian Castro who served as flagbearer.

She was joined by race walkers Luis Lopez and Yesenia Miranda, judoka Juan Diego Turcios, laser sailor Enrique Arathoon, swimmers Marcelo Acosta and Rebeca Quinteros and weightlifter Julio Salamanca. 

Since the Olympics, a sports management course has been run by the El Salvador Olympic Academy. 

A total of 130 volunteer coaches from the non-Governmental organisation Compassion International have taken part. 

It runs every Friday.
