Za kakovostno tretje življenjsko obdobje je nujna dobra telesna zmogljivost, saj zmanjšuje tveganje za kronične bolezni, izboljšuje duševno zdravje in kognitivne funkcije. Je tudi močan napovednik in pomemben dejavnik dolgoživosti. V prispevku predstavljamo učinke telesne zmogljivosti na t.i. zdravo življenjsko dobo iz perspektive posameznika in družbe. Slovenija je edina država na svetu, ki ima vzpostavljen vseživljenjski sistem spremljanja telesne zmogljivosti – SLOfit – z vrsto podpornih elementov. Skupaj z bogato telesno kulturo in drugimi danostmi ima priložnost, da razvije telesno zmogljivost populacije kot strateško naložbo. Za to pa je potrebna jasna politična odločitev.

• Title: Care for physical fitness is a strategic investment for high-quality aging and a vital society

Abstract

Good physical fitness is essential for quality aging as it reduces the risk of chronic diseases and improves mental health and cognitive functions. It is also a powerful predictor and an important factor in longevity. In this paper, we present the effects of physical fitness on the 'healthy lifespan' from the perspective of the individual and society. Slovenia is the only country in the world that has established a lifelong physical fitness monitoring system – SLOfit – complete with a variety of supporting elements. Coupled with a rich physical culture and other assets, this system offers Slovenia the opportunity to develop the population's physical fitness as a strategic investment. However, this requires a clear political decision.
