Global Matrix 2.0: Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance

In 2014, the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance was established with the aim of advancing physical activity among children and youth from around the word. One of the initiatives of this network of researchers, health professionals, and stakeholders is to promote the production of national Report Cards that present up-to-date information on overall physical activity levels, physical activity behaviors, and influences thereon, of children and youth worldwide through a harmonized development process and a standardized grading framework (from “A” = excellent to “F” = failing) formulated by Active Healthy Kids Canada. The Report Cards have been used in many countries to inform policy makers and stakeholders and enables global comparisons.
