Abstract:

Physical fitness is known to be an important resource for health. As there is a reciprocal relationship between physical fitness and physical activity, it is also a key component of an active lifestyle, now and in the future. Research on physical fitness in childhood is particularly important, as it is the critical period for the development of physical fitness, thus laying the foundation for more specific motor skills and movement patterns, and even encouraging or discouraging individuals to engage in physical activity.
Monitoring is already being used in several areas of life. In the case of children's physical fitness, systematic and continuous monitoring allows not only to assess current levels, but also to identify trends and changes, and to analyze patterns in physical fitness. The find-ings provide the basis for further strategies and interventions to promote physical fitness. In order to assess an individual´s level of physical fitness, tests items are conducted on a product level to make the latent construct apparent on an obvious level.
However, in order to generate evidence-based information and to enable knowledge of children´s physical fitness for population health monitoring, a large amount of data assessed with standardized test batteries over a long period of time is needed. ... mehr
