The World Health Organization recognizes that physical activity (PA) during childhood is crucial for healthy development, aligning well with the achievement of several United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aimed to explore the associations between 10 key indicators of PA for children and adolescents assessed in the Global Matrix 4.0 project, and the UN SDGs.
Data from 57 countries/jurisdictions of the Global Matrix 4.0 project were used. The UN SDG indicators were sourced from the SDG Transformation Center, which publishes each country's performance on each of the 17 SDGs. Given the robust evidence supporting plausible links between PA and SDGs 3 (good health and well-being), 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure), 11 (sustainable cities and communities), 13 (climate action), and 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions), these SDGs were investigated.
Countries/jurisdictions with good and moderate performance in achieving SDG 3, SDG 9, SDG 11, and SDG 16 had higher grades than countries/jurisdictions with fair performance in achieving these SDGs for the following indicators: Organized Sports and PA, Community and Environment, and Government Investments and Strategies. However, countries/jurisdictions with good performance in achieving SDG 13 had lower grades than countries/jurisdictions with fair performance in achieving SDG 13 for the following indicators: Organized Sports and PA, Community and Environment, and Government Investments and Strategies.
Organized Sports and PA, Community and Environment, and Government Investments and Strategies were the indicators that demonstrated differences between countries/jurisdictions with good and poor performance in achieving the SDGs.
世界卫生组织认识到，儿童时期的身体活动（PA）对于健康发展至关重要，这与实现多个联合国（UN）可持续发展目标（SDG）相一致。本研究旨在探讨全球矩阵 4.0 项目评估的儿童和青少年 10 项关键 PA 指标与联合国 SDG 之间的关联。
使用了全球矩阵 4.0 项目的 57 个国家/地区的数据。联合国 SDG 指标来自 SDG 转型中心，该中心发布每个国家在 17 个 SDG 中的每个指标的表现。鉴于有强有力的证据表明 PA 与 SDG3（良好健康与福祉）、SDG9（产业、创新和基础设施）、SDG11（可持续城市和社区）、SDG13（气候行动）和 SDG16（和平、正义和强大机构）之间存在合理的联系，因此研究了这些 SDG。
在实现 SDG3、SDG9、SDG11 和 SDG16 方面表现良好和中等的国家/地区，在实现这些 SDG 方面表现为公平的国家/地区相比，其组织体育和 PA、社区和环境以及政府投资和战略指标的等级更高。然而，在实现 SDG13 方面表现良好的国家/地区，在实现 SDG13 方面表现为公平的国家/地区相比，其组织体育和 PA、社区和环境以及政府投资和战略指标的等级更低。
组织体育和 PA、社区和环境以及政府投资和战略是在实现 SDG 方面表现良好和表现不佳的国家/地区之间存在差异的指标。
