Abstract
Background: Sports and physical activity are important contributors to the development of nations. International calls advocate for the creation of a system of indicators to measure the impact of physical activity and sports on the sustainable development of regions.
Methods: Twelve indicators of Sports and Development for the Ibero-American region were developed by a consortium comprised by the Ibero-American Sports Council, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the German Agency for International Cooperation. In Bogota, this set of indicators was implemented and informed with survey data, policy documents, and administrative data at the city level.
Results: Nine of the 12 indicators were informed based on the most recent available information, reaching 75% implementation. All the indicators corresponding to the economy, health, and peace and social cohesion dimensions were informed. The indicators with missing information were related to education, gender equality, and inclusion.
Conclusions: The pilot implementation of the Ibero-American indicators for Sport and Development in Bogota suggests that physical activity and sport actions and investments are a priority for the district government and can contribute to sustainable development. Our results provide a baseline that should be followed up to monitor and evaluate the efforts that the city is implementing to promote active living and sustainable development.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physical Activity and Health (JPAH) publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. As an exposure, the journal publishes articles examining how physical activity influences all aspects of health. As an outcome, the journal invites papers that examine the behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and/or population basis. The JPAH is an interdisciplinary journal published for researchers in fields of chronic disease.
