Background : Accumulating sufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity is recognized as a key determinant of physical, physiological, developmental, mental, cognitive, and social health among children youth (aged 5–17 y). The Global Matrix 3.0 Report Card grades on was developed achieve better understanding the global variation in child associated supports. Methods Work groups from 49 countries followed harmonized procedures develop their Cards by grading 10 common indicators using best...
The Global Matrix 4.0 on physical activity (PA) for children and adolescents was developed to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global variation in children's adolescents' (5-17 y) PA, related measures, key sources influence. objectives this article were (1) summarize findings from Report Cards, (2) compare indicators across countries, (3) explore trends Human Development Index geo-cultural regions.A total 57 Card teams followed harmonized process grade 10 common PA indicators.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has undoubtedly disrupted the physical activity (PA) of Thai population. This study examined effect COVID-19 on moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) adults and assessed effects national curfew policy health-promotion campaigns influencing during pandemic. Thailand's Surveillance Physical Activity (SPA) 2020 datasets were employed to compare level aged 18–64 years before Samples 4460 respondents from SPA 4482 included in analysis. Global...
24-hour movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep) during the early years are associated with health developmental outcomes, prompting WHO to develop Global guidelines for physical sleep children under 5 of age. Prevalence data on is lacking, particularly in low-income middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper describes development
Background: Physical activity (PA) is recognized as one of the core modifiable risk factors noncommunicable diseases. However, little known about PA in Thai population, particularly children. The report card (RC) project provided Thailand with an opportunity to assess behaviors This paper summarizes methodology, grading process, and final grades RC. Methods: A school-based survey was conducted collect data from a nationally representative sample children aged 6 17 years. Survey results...
Since the shutdowns associated with coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, there has been limited discourse on physical activity (PA) recovery (i.e., ability of individuals to resume PA at pre-pandemic levels), including rate, speed recovery, which are able return quickly, who is left behind, and what causes those differences. This study aimed estimate level shape rate in Thailand. employed 2 rounds (2020 2021) Thailand's Surveillance Physical Activity dataset for analysis. Each round included...

Multistage probability random sampling applied select enrolled collected data through face-to-face interviews. About 49.7% had been bullied. Bullying higher among males (52.0%)...
Global surveillance of physical activity (PA) children and adolescents with questionnaires is limited by the use instruments developed in high-income countries (HICs) lacking sociocultural adaptation, especially low- middle-income (LMICs); under-representation some PA domains; omission active play, an important source PA. Addressing these limitations would help improve international comparisons, facilitate cross-fertilisation ideas to promote We aim develop assess reliability validity...
The effort to create physical activity (PA) opportunities for Thai youth, prior 2020, was making good progress. However, the unexpected advent of Covid-19 epidemic has posed significant challenges maintain PA level youth. Thailand 2022 Report Card on Physical Activity Children and Youth presents measurements PA-related indicators based Global Matrix, with additional that are relevant childhood development.Several data sources were employed develop indicators, namely: 1) Survey 2021; 2)...

This study describes compares findings among countries with high Human Development Index. Methods Cards on were developed by each country following a harmonized process. Countries informed their best most recent evidence available. Indicators graded using common grading rubric benchmarks established Active Healthy Kids Alliance. A database of was...
Abstract Background The existing body of research mostly discusses inequality in physical activity (PA) based on the difference level moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA). Evidence is lacking quantified measures (e.g., how big is, and distribution) order to identify most vulnerable groups a population. This study measured PA among Thai adults by using three parameters construct an index: (1) Proportion population with sufficient MVPA; (2) Cumulative minutes (3) Gini coefficient. Methods employed...
Abstract Background The role of data in informing decision makers formulating policy to improve population health is undeniably important. During the past few years, Thai government has undertaken continuous promotion campaigns and programs. Nevertheless, evidence how physical activity (PA) improved lacking. This study aims present PA prevalence trends from nationally-representative surveillance collected during 2012–2019. Methods employed 8 rounds Thailand’s Surveillance on Physical...
