- * Findings reveal that only 34.5% of youth meet physical activity recommendations, with varying participation in organized sports, active play, and sedentary behaviors, while girls are generally less active than boys.
- * Despite some positive parenting and school involvement in physical activity, significant gaps exist, highlighting the need for improved opportunities for movement among children in Mexico.
Background: The Mexican Report Card on Physical Activity in children and youth was first developed in 2012 as a tool aimed at informing policy and practice. The objective of this paper is to update the Report Card to reflect the current situation in Mexico.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in Spanish and English using major databases, and complemented with government documents and national health surveys.
