Comprehensive and meaningful policy analysis in the field of physical activity is difficult, not least because of the variable influence of other policy domains. However, in 2011 a Policy Assessment Tool (PAT) was developed by members of the WHO European Network for the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA Europe) and tested in several different countries. In 2014, Wales joined a global initiative, active healthy kids (AHK) Global Alliance, that supported the development of country level 'Report Cards' scoring a range of indicators that influence physical activity amongst children and young people, one of which was labelled 'Government Strategies and Investments'. For the first two Report Cards this indicator and its associated 'score' was informed subjectively by expert consensus. In 2018, it was decided to utilize the Policy Audit Tool Version 2 (PAT v2) developed by HEPA Europe to aid analysis and to develop and test a scoring rubric aligned to the tool. The subsequent process indicated that the tool could be applied and translated into a 'grade' that could be used in conjunction with the other indicators of the AHK Report Card to generate overall Report Card grades. The use of both the HEPA PAT v2 and the scoring rubric offers an opportunity to provide greater consistency and potential for developing both comparative and trend data when assessing policy impact on physical activity in children and young people. These tools should be utilized by the AHK Global Alliance in future Report Cards.
全面而有意义的体育活动政策分析颇具难度，部分原因在于其他政策领域的影响存在变数。然而，2011 年，世界卫生组织欧洲促进促进健康身体活动网络（HEPA 欧洲）的成员开发了一个政策评估工具（PAT），并在几个不同的国家进行了测试。2014 年，威尔士加入了一个名为“积极健康儿童（AHK）全球联盟”的全球性倡议，该倡议支持开发国家层面的“报告卡”，对影响儿童和青少年身体活动的一系列指标进行评分，其中一个指标被标记为“政府战略和投资”。在前两份报告卡中，该指标及其相关“得分”是由专家共识主观提供的。2018 年，决定利用 HEPA 欧洲开发的政策审计工具版本 2（PAT v2）来辅助分析，并制定和测试与该工具一致的评分标准。随后的过程表明，该工具可以应用并转化为“等级”，与 AHK 报告卡的其他指标结合使用，以生成整体报告卡等级。使用 HEPA PAT v2 和评分标准为评估政策对儿童和青少年身体活动的影响提供了更大的一致性和潜在的比较和趋势数据的机会。这些工具应在未来的报告卡中由 AHK 全球联盟使用。
