The district selected 30 daycare centers and will conduct physical fitness assessments and step-by-step physical activity programs for children aged 3 to 5 (born 2019?2021).
From April to December, fitness assessors will visit daycare centers to conduct seven types of physical fitness tests: △body measurements (height, weight) △muscular endurance (V-hold) △flexibility (sit and reach) △balance (one-leg stand) △explosive power (standing long jump) △agility (shuttle run).
In addition, a customized physical activity education program will be provided using early childhood physical education equipment to help children enjoy exercising on their own.
Furthermore, capacity-building training will be conducted for Guro District officials, childcare teachers, and other related personnel to professionally enhance children's physical fitness and promote healthy physical development.
