Temporal trends in weight-based disparities in physical fitness of children: 30-years of continuous surveillance through Slovenian national system

Our results should encourage policymakers to redesign policies aimed at promoting physical activity and enhancing physical fitness to make them more equitable and ultimately lead to reducing inequalities in fitness.
