Abstract
Thailand has kindly volunteered to lead the development of the ASEAN Physical Fitness Indicators (APFI) as one of the activities to support the Key Element 3 of the ASEAN Work Plan on Sports 2016-2020. The APFI serves as guidelines to gather information about population and/or health system performance and characteristics in ASEAN. Thailand proposed activities under APFI which include expanding the ASEAN network to engage relevant stakeholders in the initiative, establishing a working group to formulate the concept and identify fitness indicators, preparing the report, publishing and disseminating the report on fitness indicators to relevant ASEAN sectoral bodies and relevant stakeholders as well as ensuring the report is accessible online.
Due to the crisis of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, All AMS data collection plans may be affected by their government restrictions and bans on mass gathering events to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19; these matters cause inconvenience for AMS to implement data collection at the national level to submit them to Thailand. Therefore, the APFI data collection implementation during the pandemic seems inconvenient to follow the project timeline as Thailand has proposed in the SOMS-10 Meeting. Nevertheless, Thailand has offered to bring APFI project contained in the next ASEAN Work Plan on Sports 2021-2025 implementation, which the SOMS-10 Meeting acknowledged and agreed with Thailand’s proposal.
