So far, a total of 20 schools, including daycare centers and kindergartens, have participated in this fitness measurement and exercise evaluation.

After the fitness measurements, Seo-gu plans to recheck the students' fitness improvement from September to November in the second half of the year at some schools and provide the analysis results again, enabling customized health management, which has received great responses from the examinees.

In addition, Seo-gu plans to gradually expand the visiting fitness measurement service not only to schools but also to senior centers.
