20.500.12556/RUL-166453 Development of the FitBack online platform enhancing global child fitness assessment, health-related interpretation, and surveillance Objectives: Physical fitness is an important indicator of health in children. Accurately monitoring child and adolescent physical fitness is critical when designing effective public health interventions and strategies. This article communicates the creation process of the FitBack platform, a multi-lingual, free-for-use online health, education and information portal tool. The study’s objectives are to provide a detailed breakdown of the evidence-based health-related criteria that support its unique feedback reporting system. Methods: Four methodological phases were used to create the FitBack platform. First, a review of existing European fitness databases was conducted to identify common fitness tests and methodologies within a European framework. Second, investigators collated data to create European-level fitness norms, health-related criteria, and health-oriented educational resources dedicated to improving child fitness levels. Third, guidance on how to create one’s own fitness monitoring and surveillance system was created based on good practice examples. The FitBack platform was then piloted and launched based on data received from stakeholders who responded to ≥2 rounds of consultation dialogues. Results: The final version of the online platform is detailed herein, with special focus on describing its novel health-related, child-specific fitness criteria used to provide its diverse end-users individualised health feedback. Conclusions: The FitBack online platform is a first-step tool that anyone can use towards creating their own standardised, person-centred, multi-national fitness surveillance system for children, bridging policy gaps that exist between current European political recommendations and individual member states, encouraging harmonious cooperation between sectors. By providing the detailed age- and sex-specific health-related fitness cut-points underpinning FitBack’s health feedback, we expect this versatile digital health tool to be useful not only to researchers, but also practitioners and policy makers, as they work towards building better child fitness monitoring system infrastructures worldwide. sport public health policy paediatrics knowledge translation physical literacy education fitness standards personalised health feedback šport politika javnega zdravja pediatrija izobraževanje prevod znanja telesna pismenost fitnes standardi prilagojene povratne informacije o zdravju true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-01-13 14:27:21 2025-01-13 14:27:24 2025-01-14 03:54:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 9 str. iss. 1, art. 100967 Vol. 14 Feb. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.01:613 2211-8845 10.1016/j.hlpt.2024.100967 221843203 1-s2.0-S2211883724001308-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S2211883724001308-main.pdf 1 F0C1F0ED616C3ECAADF3ADAF3870731D 241d5def15f58e50f27df365d02a5605867aa612293d641eb92e2d5a10db1911 f4e7c67a-d1b1-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=198080 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211883724001308 0 61f06c15-d1b1-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=198078 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
