Abstract
Objective The aim of this review was to summarize the process and results of the Region of Murcia's 2022 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth. Methods Indicators from the Global Matrix initiative (Overall Physical Activity, Organized Sport & Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, Active Play, Active Transport, Sedentary Behaviors, Family & Peers, School, Community & Environment, and Government) were evaluated based on the best available data in the Region of Murcia. Results Active play was the indicator with the highest grade (B+), followed by Organized Sport & Physical Activity (B) and Active Play (B). School and Family and Peers indicators obtained a C+ and C grade, respectively. Both Community and Environment and Sedentary Behaviors indicators received a D+ grade. The grade for Overall Physical Activity and Government indicators was D. Physical Fitness was the indicator with the lowest grade of this Report Card (D-). None of the indicators received an incomplete grade (INC) because of a lack of available information. Conclusions The present Report Card offers evidence highlighting the low level of physical activity in Spanish children and adolescents living in the Region of Murcia. Further studies and surveillance efforts are urgently needed for most of the indicators analyzed, which should be addressed by researchers and the Region of Murcia's Government for this specific population. A strong commitment from the Government of the Region of Murcia is needed at all levels to promote a cultural change that will lead children and young people in this region to improve the current situation.

Abstract
La sociedad actual plantea la necesidad de incorporar a la educación aquellas capacidades relacionadas con el cuerpo y su actividad motriz dentro de los márgenes de la salud, pues estas resultan determinantes para el desarrollo integral de la persona. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la relación entre la condición física global (CF), la coordinación motriz (CM) y la calidad de vida percibida (CVP) en adolescentes españoles. Para esto, se diseñó un estudio descriptivo transversal con 1037 adolescentes de 14 a 16 años de edad, y se utilizó el Cuestionario de salud SF-36 para evaluar la CVP, y la Batería de condición física relacionada con la salud para evaluar la CF global y la CM. Los resultados muestran que los sujetos con mayor CF tuvieron valores promedio más elevados en las variables de función física (p < .001), rol físico (p < .001), vitalidad (p < .05), función social (p < .001), rol emocional (p < .01), salud mental (p < .001) y calidad de vida total (p < .001); mientras que aquellos con menor CF presentaron puntuaciones superiores en dolor corporal (p < .001). Asimismo, los sujetos que mostraron mayor CM obtuvieron mejores registros en salud general, vitalidad, función social y calidad de vida total (p < .001 en todos los casos), y registros inferiores en función física y rol físico (p < .001 en ambos casos). Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que tener una mayor CF, así como una mayor CM, pueden ser variables predictoras de una mejor CVP en adolescentes españoles.
