/Objective: The Active Healthy Kids 2019 Hong Kong Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth with Special Educational Needs (SEN) provides evidence-based assessments for nine indicators of physical activity behaviors and related sources of influence for 6- to 17-year-olds with SEN in Hong Kong. This is the first Report Card for this population group in Hong Kong.
The best available data between 2008 and 2019 were reviewed by a panel of experts. Following the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA) development process, letter grades were assigned to nine indicators (Overall Physical Activity, Organized Sport Participation, Active Play, Active Transportation, Sedentary Behaviors, Family & Peers, School, Community & Environment, and Government Strategies & Investments).
Two behavior indicators (Overall Physical Activity: Sedentary Behaviors: ) and two contextual indicators (School: Government Strategies & Investments: ) were assigned a letter grade. The remaining indicators including Organized Sport Participation, Active Play, Active Transportation, Family & Peers, and Community & Environment were not graded due to insufficient data.
A majority of children and youth with SEN in Hong Kong are physically inactive and have a high level of sedentary behaviors. Schools are ideal settings to promote physical activity for this population. There is a need to develop a comprehensive surveillance system to monitor this population, assess efforts to improve the grades, and promote physical activity opportunities for children and youth with SEN.
/目的：《2019年香港特殊教育需求儿童及青少年身体活动报告卡》为香港6至17岁有特殊教育需求（SEN）的儿童及青少年的身体活动行为的九个指标及相关影响因素提供了循证评估。这是香港针对这一人群的首份报告卡。
由专家小组审查了2008年至2019年间可获取的最佳数据。按照全球积极健康儿童联盟（AHKGA）的制定流程，对九个指标（总体身体活动、有组织的体育参与、积极玩耍、积极交通、久坐行为、家庭与同伴、学校、社区与环境以及政府战略与投资）评定了字母等级。
两个行为指标（总体身体活动：久坐行为：）和两个背景指标（学校：政府战略与投资：）被评定了字母等级。其余指标，包括有组织的体育参与、积极玩耍、积极交通、家庭与同伴以及社区与环境，由于数据不足未被评级。
香港大多数有特殊教育需求的儿童及青少年身体活动不足，久坐行为水平较高。学校是促进这一人群身体活动的理想场所。有必要建立一个全面的监测系统，以监测这一人群，评估提高等级的努力，并为有特殊教育需求的儿童及青少年促进身体活动机会。
