Physical activity, sports participation, and sustainable development in the Ibero-American region: a pilot implementation of indicators in Chile, Costa Rica, and Ecuador

The first national pilot implementation of the proposed indicators-as part of its validation process-highlights the need for improved quality and accessibility of reliable data across the Ibero-American region. These indicators have the potential to assess, track, and compare policies related to physical activity and sports, and to identify challenges and opportunities for improvement.

Abstract

The first national pilot implementation of the proposed indicators-as part of its validation process-highlights the need for improved quality and accessibility of reliable data across the Ibero-American region. These indicators have the potential to assess, track, and compare policies related to physical activity and sports, and to identify challenges and opportunities for improvement.
