Slovenia is a pioneer in the systematic monitoring of the physical fitness of children and adolescents, since the national somatic and physical development monitoring system, called the Sport Educational Card (SEC), had already been developed between 1969 and 1989. Since the school year 1986/1987 all Slovene primary and secondary schools perform measurements with three anthropometric tests and eight motor tests. The results are sent to the Faculty of Sport at the University of Ljubljana, and the Laboratory for Somatic and Physical Development provides feedback to each schoolchild, class and school as a whole. In recent years, the research team at the Faculty of Sport has developed information support and the upgrade of the established national system of the SEC and named it SLOfit. Registered users of the system, especially physical education teachers, parents and adolescents, as well as doctors, can use the free web application My SLOfit, through which they can access SLOfit data and fitness reports with health-risk assessment, learn good practices in cooperation between schools, health and municipalities from individual environments. Users get constant professional support for interventions through a communication tool within the application My SLOfit, the website www.slofit.org, SLOfit tips and Facebook posts. The paper presents the basic characteristics of the SLOfit system, and in particular the reports for the individual and the school.
