HK Canada partnered with Active Healthy Kids Canada to help promote the inaugural Global Summit on the Physical Activity of Children, held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 19 to 22, 2014. This event attracted delegates from more than 60 countries, 14 of which took part for the first time in grading the physical activity level, standards, behaviors, and environment of their own country. AHKC celebrated its 10th anniversary of issuing its Report Card on the Physical Activity of Children and Youth by engaging in this multinational research effort. The results led to the establishment of a global matrix of 9 key indicators while facilitating international cross-fertilization of research and intervention efforts as a stepping point from which to expand the effort to more countries and develop a network for the promotion of active healthy kids worldwide. A special supplemental issue of the Journal of Physical Activity and Health contains the abstracts presented at the Global Summit and is available in free open-access format on HK’s JPAH journal page.
