On 19 April 2025 the official opening ceremony of the “Level of physical fitness” sports tests was held in Tashkent, on the grounds of the Olympic Village and the Museum of Olympic and Paralympic Glory of Uzbekistan.
The project is run on the initiative of a number of partner organisations and aims to involve young people in physical activity and to build a healthy lifestyle.
The tests are held in an online format with participants from 14 regions of the republic and 208 districts and cities, giving them a wide reach.
They run throughout the year, from March to November, across five areas. People may take part individually or as members of special groups. Results are assessed for endurance, speed, strength, flexibility and overall physical fitness.
Winners receive well-earned awards. Those with the best results are given electronic certificates, badges and special sports kit.
In addition, the school whose pupils achieve the best results receives 14 pieces of sports equipment. The initiative is designed to spark pupils’ interest in regular sport and to support the development of physical education among young people.
