* The Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences of the University of Jyvaskyla (Finland) are developing a new web-based, students´ feedback system for Finnish schools based on a battery of objective measures (e.g. fitness/performance tests, such as 20m shuttle-run test and flamingo standing test) as well as subjective measures (e.g., self-reported fatigue, perceived athletic ability etc.). The main objective of this individual system is to motivate students to sustain and/or develop their physical activity and fitness levels. They are currently working on reviewing similar feedback and/or reporting systems used in PE from a broad set of international sources. For this reason we would be greatly appreciative if members of the AIESEP’s community could suggest similar systems, or provide the contact information of some colleagues working within this type of project. Contact: Prof. Jarmo Liukkonen (jarmo.liukkonen@jyu.fi).
