Resumen
Background: The 2016 Chilean Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth is a review of the evidence across
indicators of behaviors, settings, and sources of influence associated with physical activity (PA) of Chilean children and youth.
Methods: A Research Work Group reviewed available evidence from publications, surveys, government documents and datasets
to assign a grade for 11 indicators for PA behavior based on the percentage of compliance for defined benchmarks. Grades were
defined as follows: A, 81% to 100% of children accomplishing a given benchmark; B, 61% to 80%; C, 41% to 60%; D, 21%
to 40%; F, 0% to 20%; INC, incomplete data available to assign score. Results: Grades assigned were for i) ‘Behaviors that
contribute to overall PA levels’: Overall PA, F; Organized Sport Participation, D; Active Play, INC; and Active Transportation,
C-; ii) ‘Factors associated with cardiometabolic risk’: Sedentary Behavior, D; Overweight and Obesity, F; Fitness, F; and iii)
‘Factors that influence PA’: Family and Peers, D; School, D; Community and Built Environment, C; Government Strategies and
Investments, C. Conclusions: Chile faces a major challenge as most PA indicators scored low. There were clear research and
information gaps that need to be filled with the implementation of consistent and regular data collection methods.
