Abstract

Background

Canada has produced 16 national Report Cards on the Physical Activity of Children and Youth over the past 20 years. This manuscript details the impact of the most recent Report Cards released between 2015 and 2024, updating evidence since the publication of the impact paper focused on the first 10 years (2005–2014).

Methods

Various quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed to catalogue the developmental history and background of the Report Card, its leadership and sources of funding; consolidate and discuss the various evaluations and assessments that have been performed on the Report Card from 2015 to 2024; describe the distribution and reach of the Report Card from 2015 to 2024; and, examine the multi-dimensional impact of the Report Card on propelling the movement to get children and youth moving over the past 10 years in Canada and internationally.

Results

Leadership by ParticipACTION has led to replicating the Children and Youth Report Card in over 70 jurisdictions, with many examples of beneficial cross-fertilization of ideas across jurisdictions and sectors. The multisectoral impact of the Report Card in Canada continues to be substantial, though sustained funding remains a challenge. There is modest evidence that grades for some indicators are drifting upwards. Deliberate efforts have been made to better integrate evidence and gaps related to the physical activity of equity-denied groups.

Conclusions

Over the past 10 years, the ParticipACTION Children and Youth Report Card has continued to have a measurable, positive impact on the pediatric physical activity field in Canada (and beyond).

参与行动报告卡对加拿大儿童和青少年身体活动的影响：2015-2024

在过去的20年里，加拿大制作了16份关于儿童和青少年身体活动的国家报告卡。本文详细介绍了2015年至2024年间发布的最新报告卡的影响，更新了自前10年（2005-2014）影响论文发表以来的证据。方法采用多种定量和定性方法，对报告卡的发展历史、背景、领导和资金来源进行分类；整合和讨论2015年至2024年在成绩单上进行的各种评估和评估；描述2015年至2024年报告卡的分布和覆盖范围；并研究报告卡在过去10年中在推动加拿大和国际儿童和青少年运动方面的多方面影响。“参与行动”的领导作用已使《儿童及青少年报告卡》在70多个司法管辖区得到复制，其中有许多跨司法管辖区和部门的有益思想交流的例子。报告卡在加拿大的多部门影响仍然很大，尽管持续的筹资仍然是一个挑战。有少量证据表明，一些指标的评分正在上升。为更好地整合与被剥夺平等权利群体的体育活动有关的证据和差距，已经作出了深思熟虑的努力。结论：在过去的10年里，参与儿童和青少年报告卡在加拿大（及其他地区）的儿科体育活动领域持续产生可衡量的积极影响。
