Physical activity (PA) is recognized as one of the core modifiable risk factors of noncommunicable diseases. However, little is known about PA in the Thai population, particularly in children. The report card (RC) project provided Thailand with an opportunity to assess PA behaviors in children. This paper summarizes the methodology, grading process, and the final grades of the Thai RC.
A school-based survey was conducted to collect data from a nationally representative sample of children aged 6 to 17 years. Survey results provided the primary source for the RC. Nine indicators were graded using the Global Matrix 2.0 framework. Grading was undertaken by a national committee comprising experts from key stakeholders.
Grades ranged from F to B. Overall PA and Sedentary Behaviors both received the grade D-. Organized Sport Participation scored a C. Active Play scored the grade F. Active Transport and support from Family and Peers were both graded B. School, Community, and Government indicators were scored C.
In Thai children, participation in PA and active play is very low; conversely, sedentary behaviors are high. These first data on patterns of activity for the Thailand RC will serve to guide national actions and advocacy aimed at increasing PA in children.
身体活动（PA）被认为是非传染性疾病的核心可改变风险因素之一。然而，对于泰国人群，尤其是儿童的身体活动情况知之甚少。成绩单（RC）项目为泰国提供了一个评估儿童身体活动行为的机会。本文总结了泰国成绩单的方法、评分过程和最终成绩。
开展了一项基于学校的调查，以从全国具有代表性的6至17岁儿童样本中收集数据。调查结果为成绩单提供了主要数据来源。使用全球矩阵2.0框架对九个指标进行评分。评分由一个由关键利益相关者的专家组成的国家委员会进行。
成绩从F到B不等。总体身体活动和久坐行为均获得D-级。有组织的体育参与得分为C。积极玩耍得分为F。积极出行以及来自家庭和同伴的支持均被评为B级。学校、社区和政府指标得分为C。
在泰国儿童中，参与身体活动和积极玩耍的比例非常低；相反，久坐行为的比例很高。泰国成绩单关于活动模式的这些首批数据将有助于指导旨在增加儿童身体活动的国家行动和宣传。
