FitBack is a European project whose full name is “the European Network for the Support of Development of Systems for Monitoring Physical Fitness of Children and Adolescents”.
Its mandate is to advocate for, and provide tools that will allow examination of population health trends, the effects of national fitness policies and interventions on child health at the local, regional, national and European level. FitBack will enable the prediction of future trends in population health by relating health risk to physical fitness status. The FitBack network has been developed in collaboration with 10 European partners who have been monitoring physical fitness in children and adolescents for a long time. This network is coordinated by the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sport, Slovenia.
