The Federal Office of Sport published Mobile until 2010. With its practical, theoretically rigorous articles, the scientific journal served as a resource for physical education. Published for the first time in 1944 as a bulletin for Vorunterrichtsleiter – physical fitness instructors who trained Swiss youths for future military service – under the title Starke Jugend – freies Volk, the journal was renamed Jugend and Sport in 1967, which was the name of the successor to the earlier pre-military training programme. In 1983, it was renamed Magglingen, the location of the Swiss Federal Institute of Sport, which was also the editor of the journal.
