Physical activity (PA) promotion in children and youth is an impetus for prevention and control of NCD morbidity and mortality, but evidence is needed for effective interventions. The aim of the present paper is to summarize the results of the 2013 Nigerian Report Card on Physical Activity for children and youth.
The Technical Report Committee conducted a comprehensive review of available literature in Nigeria. Grades were assigned to 10 PA indicators modeled after the Active Healthy Kids Canada (AHKC) grading system.
Specific grades were assigned for several indicators: Overall Physical Activity Levels, C; Organized Sport and Physical Activity Participation, Incomplete; Active Play and Leisure, C-; Active Transportation, B; Sedentary Behaviors, F; Overweight and Obesity, B+. The following indicators were graded as INCOMPLETE: Physical Activity in School setting, Family and Peers, Community and Built Environment, and Government Strategies and Investments.
PA levels of Nigerian children and youth are moderate while sedentary behaviors are high. The development of national guidelines for PA and sedentary behaviors can better inform policy and practice on healthy living among Nigerian children and youth.
促进儿童和青少年的身体活动（PA）是预防和控制非传染性疾病发病率和死亡率的一项推动因素，但需要有证据来支持有效的干预措施。本文旨在总结《2013年尼日利亚儿童和青少年身体活动成绩单报告》的结果。
技术报告委员会对尼日利亚现有的文献进行了全面审查。根据加拿大健康活跃儿童（AHKC）评分系统，对10项身体活动指标进行了评分。
为几个指标分配了具体分数：总体身体活动水平，C；有组织的体育和身体活动参与度，未完成；积极玩耍和休闲，C-；积极出行，B；久坐行为，F；超重和肥胖，B+。以下指标被评为未完成：学校环境中的身体活动、家庭和同伴、社区和建筑环境以及政府战略和投资。
尼日利亚儿童和青少年的身体活动水平中等，而久坐行为水平较高。制定关于身体活动和久坐行为的国家指南可以更好地为尼日利亚儿童和青少年健康生活的政策和实践提供信息。
