Eurofit by European Communities

The outcome of several years co-ordinated European research is presented in this handbook. It is a response to the need for an effective means of accurately assessing physical fitness of children. Sport, physical education and health cross national boundaries; they use common tools, instruments and language. Physical fitness therefore lends itself to being assessed in the same way across Europe. The tests are simple and practical and can be carried out by physical education teachers or special mobile teams with data and can be used over a period of time to detect status, changes and trends.
