Abstract

The 2018 Report Card for South Africa (SA) (Figure 1) presents the latest available evidence relating to physical activity (PA) of SA school-aged children since the 2016 Report Card. The absence of nationally representative data remains a challenge for the compilation of the 2018 grades. However, the findings from regional studies are still highly informative, and continue to provide a platform for advocacy in SA regarding the health and PA of SA children and adolescents.
