19 Jun Scotland Releases its 2026 Report Card!
Congratulations to the Scotland Report Card team on the release of their 2026 Report Card! The Report Card evaluated Global Matrix 5.0 indicators related to physical activity and health among Scottish children and adolescents. Overall Physical Activity was graded a B, with 71% of adolescents aged 11–15 achieving at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on at least 4 days per week.
With the theme of “Move for Brain Health”, the Report Card highlights the important role that physical activity, active play, sleep, diet, and supportive environments play in promoting both current health and lifelong brain health. The Report Card emphasizes the need to view investments in healthy behaviors and environments during childhood as investments in lifelong well-being.
