The Faculty of Sports at the University of Ljubljana has developed an innovative system called SLOfit Adults for monitoring physical fitness in adults. The system draws upon the extensive experience gained through legally mandatory monitoring of the physical and movement development of school children and youth in Slovenia. Its aim is to enable adults to learn which components of physical fitness they need to improve to reduce health risks and engage in appropriate exercise programs. The adult SLOfit system comprises three measuring sets, which are used depending on the age and fitness status of the individual, questionnaires related to physical fitness, the Moj SLOfit application with a reporting system that provides feedback on individual achievements, training programs for those performing the measurements, and promotional activities through various media channels. Participation in the system is free of charge, and expanding its use could provide valuable data on the state and trend of the physical fitness of the adult population in Slovenia. This, in turn, could facilitate the study of the correlation between diseases in adulthood and physical fitness in childhood and adulthood. Slovenia was the first country to establish such a system of lifelong monitoring of physical fitness, which also serves as an exceptional research infrastructure.
