Abstract

The Active Healthy Kids Canada 2011 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth assesses how Canada is doing as a country at promoting and facilitating physical activity opportunities for children and youth. The aim of this brief communication is to provide a summary of the results. Twenty-three physical activity indicators were graded. The physical activity levels indicator received an 'F' for the fifth consecutive year, and little improvement was seen across most indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
