| Popis: | ObjectiveThe Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance is a network of researchers, health professionals and stakeholders who are working together to advance physical activity (PA) in children and youth from around the world. There is a need for gathering and translating high quality knowledge on children, youth and PA to guide practice, program and policy development.Methods10 indicators for PA amongst children and youth are included in the 2018 Report Card. A national committee, consisting of members with different areas of expertise related to PA among children and youth, graded each indicator on the basis of a structured consensus process. Designated committee members were asked to collect, analyze and present best available evidence on specific indicators and suggest an grading. The presentation and preliminary grade formed the starting point for joint committee discussions to establish consensus for each indicator. ResultsIndicator assessment were based on national surveys related to health and/or PA behaviors, scientific literature and government reports/legislative documents. While 7 of the 10 indicators were assigned a grade in the 2018 Report Card, research and monitoring gaps remain that, if addressed, would better inform the process. Firstly, methodological challenges related to objective versus subjective measures are observed. Secondly, quality data is missing on a total of three core indicators. Thirdly, current data do not sustainably cover the entire age range.Indicator GradeOverall Physical Activity: D-Organized Sport Participation: A-Active Play: INCActive Transportation: B+Sedentary Behaviours: D+Physical Fitness: INCFamily and Peers: INCSchool: A-Community and Environment: B+Government: A-ConclusionThe 2016 Danish Report Card on PA for children and youth showed that Denmark performed rather well on strategic and political levels, but the impact on the individual level were somewhat scanty. This indicated an implementation gap between the governmental and individual level. Two years later, the implementation issue remains the perhaps greatest challenge – alongside the need for more comprehensive and methodologically solid studies to better address and grade the full range of indicators. |
