However, the effect of these strategies remains unknown. • Two main recommendations are: 1) evaluate existing school and community programs and policies, and, 2) promote the implementation and dissemination of suc- cessful programs. • The Mexican Report Card on Physical Activity (PA) in children and youth was first developed in 2012 as a tool for informing policy and practice. The objective of this study was to update the Mexican Report Card summarizing the most recent evidence dealing with PA and sedentary behavior among Mexican children and youth. Search strategy • English and Spanish language literature was re- viewed in 2013 using major databases • Articles reporting on Mexican populations 1-25 years of age published from 2010 forward were in- cluded (n=22) • Government documents and national surveys were also included (n=12) Table 1.
