“…Those aged 12–17 years were more sedentary than those aged 5–11 years (9 h and 16 min of waking time vs 7 h and 38 min, respectively) while children aged 3–4 years were the least sedentary, at 7 h and 28 min of waking time [ 17 ]. New analyses indicate that only 9.5% of Canadian children and youth [ 19 ] are meeting the new Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth [ 13 ].…”

Canada’s Physical Literacy Consensus Statement: process and outcome

BackgroundHealthy movement behaviours of Canadian children and youth have been found to be suboptimal; this is associated with declines in physical fitness, increases in obesity, and elevated chronic disease risk. Physical literacy is an evolving construct representing foundational domains upon which physically active lifestyles are based. Many sectors and organizations in Canada are embracing physical literacy in their programs, practices, policies, and research; however, the use of inconsistent definitions and conceptualizations of physical literacy had been identified by stakeholders as hindering promotion and advancement efforts.MethodsWith leadership from ParticipACTION, organizations from the physical activity, public health, sport, physical education, and recreation sectors collaborated to create a physical literacy consensus definition and position statement for use by all Canadian organizations and individuals. The process involved an environmental scan, survey of related evidence, stakeholder consultations, and creation of a Steering Committee. From this background work a consensus statement was drafted, shared with stakeholders, revised, and ratified.ResultsCanada’s Physical Literacy Consensus Statement was launched in June 2015 at the International Physical Literacy Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. To further promote the Consensus Statement, the Sport for Life Society developed and simultaneously released the “Vancouver Declaration”, which contained additional guidance on physical literacy. Both the Consensus Statement and the Declaration endorsed the International Physical Literacy Association’s definition of physical literacy, namely “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life”.ConclusionsSector partners hope that the Consensus Statement, with its standardized definition, brings greater harmony, synergy, and consistency to physical literacy efforts in Canada and internationally. Going forward, the impact of this initiative on the sector, and the more distal goal of increasing habitual physical activity levels, should be assessed.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5903-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Additionally, several national surveys have included questions related to screen-time; a key sedentary behaviour. The growing public health need to monitor and report on sedentary behaviour and related factors led to a modernization of the Public Health Agency of Canada's (PHAC's) physical activity surveillance system which is now directed by the Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour and Sleep (PASS) Indicators [12,13].…”

Background: Historical changes in the nature of sedentary activities have been observed in other countries, but it is not clear if similar trends exist in Canada. It is also unclear how changes in the measurement of sedentary behaviour affects national estimates. Our objective is to document all sources and measures of sedentary behaviour from Canadian, nationally representative surveys, and report on selected estimates of time spent in sedentary activities. Lessons learned can benefit the wider international surveillance community. Methods: We describe and document all data sources of sedentary behaviour at the national level in Canada, and report on selected prevalence data from repeated cross-sectional surveys. We summarize amounts of total deviceassessed sedentary time and self-reported sedentary activities (e.g., passive travel, leisure television, computer, video games, screen, and reading) by age group over time. Results: Nineteen national surveys were identified. Changes in questions and/or response categories precluded direct assessment of trends over time for some measures; however, certain trends were observed. Accelerometermeasured sedentary time, leisure reading (among those < 50 years) and television/video viewing in younger age groups have remained relatively stable (with a possible slight decline in television/video viewing). Time spent in passive travel and leisure computer and electronic device use appears to have increased. Television and video viewing appears to have increased in older adults while their leisure reading appears to have fallen. Conclusions: Changes in measurement of sedentary behaviour can affect estimates and reduce comparability over time. Total leisure screen use appears to have increased over time, reflecting the ways in which Canadians spend their free time and technological advances. The main public health message is the need for continued efforts to reduce leisure screen use, especially among youth and older adults.

“…To support the identification and selection of a set of surveillance indicators that would form the foundation of the PHAC's Physical Activity, Sedentary behaviour and Sleep (PASS) surveillance system, a conceptual framework was developed. 18 The conceptual framework included three core components (i.e., behaviours, settings, socioecological approach) and the 24-hour movement spectrum (i.e., physical activity [light, moderate and vigorous], sedentary behaviour and sleep). The Canada has a long series of physical activity surveillance data 1 which have received international recognition.…”

“…This initial visual model, which displayed the components of the conceptual framework using a pyramid format, was presented to experts in the fields of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep, who broadly agreed that it was consistent with current knowledge, and it was used during the selection of the PASS surveillance indicators at a meeting in Ottawa on June 24, 2014. 18 This initial framework lacked descriptions of the types of activities which the indicators were intended to illustrate. Further, the sense of hierarchy in the outcomes implied by the use of a pyramid was not its intended purpose.…”

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has modernized its approach to physical activity surveillance by broadening its scope to include sedentary behaviour and sleep. The first step was to develop a conceptual framework which covers the full spectrum of physical movement from moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and light intensity physical activity (LPA) to sedentary behaviour and sleep. The framework accounts for the environments in which these behaviours take place (home, work/school, transportation, and community), and applies a socioecological approach to incorporate individual factors and broader built, social, and societal environmental indicators. A visual model of the conceptual framework was created to aid dissemination.
