EFB (European Fitness Badge) Sport and Gymnastic organizations as well as scientific partners from ten institutions across eight European countries were involved in the development of the EFB. Organizations in participating countries offer completion of the EFB in different settings.

The EFB has two TPs (Test Profiles) and participants are asked to choose one profile based on their level of physical activity. The level of physical activity is determined based on the N-Ex questionnaire that all participants are required to complete prior to the testing.

N-Ex Questionnaire Participants are asked to choose one of five descriptions of usual physical activities during a normal week that best reflects their activity level. The questionnaire distinguishes between activity levels from 1 to 5.

TP1 Test Profile 1 was designed for less active or older individuals and mainly assesses functional performance.

TP2 (this data set) Test profile 2 addresses physically active people and is considered performance-oriented. The test performance is evaluated quantitatively using age- and gender-specific reference values in five categories [1?5] according to percentiles. The point values refer to quintiles: 1 point = percentile rank 0?20, 5 points = percentile rank 81?100. Based on their test performance, participants that complete TP2 receive an ?advanced? or ?approved? certificate. Below 11 points, a participation certificate is given out.
