La práctica regular de actividad física durante la infancia y la adolescencia se ha asociado con múltiples beneficios físicos, psicológicos y sociales. No obstante, los niveles de inactividad continuaron siendo elevados y desiguales según el sexo, la edad y el nivel socioeconómico. Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las desigualdades en la actividad física de la población infantil y adolescente de Euskadi, en el marco de la iniciativa Global Matrix 5.0, identificando diferencias por sexo, edad y nivel socioeconómico, así como su evolución respecto al ciclo 2018–2021. Metodología. La investigación se basó en un análisis descriptivo y comparativo realizado por un panel de seis expertos procedentes de instituciones académicas y gubernamentales. Se recopilaron veintitrés fuentes de información correspondientes al periodo 2022–2025, a partir de una estrategia multinivel que integró literatura científica, informes institucionales y estudios con acelerometría. Once indicadores fueron evaluados mediante los criterios estandarizados de la Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance y calificados en una escala de A+ a F según el grado de cumplimiento. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron mejoras en la actividad física general (B+/B), en la condición física (C+) y en las políticas públicas (B), mientras que el sueño y los comportamientos sedentarios obtuvieron las calificaciones más bajas (F). Las chicas presentaron una ligera ventaja en actividad física general y transporte activo, pero la adolescencia reflejó los mayores descensos, especialmente en contextos socioeconómicos desfavorecidos. Conclusiones. Estos hallazgos coincidieron con estudios previos europeos que evidencian una disminución progresiva de la actividad física con la edad y un incremento sostenido del sedentarismo. Se concluye que Euskadi ha avanzado en políticas públicas y promoción de la actividad física, aunque persisten desafíos vinculados al sueño, el sedentarismo y la equidad social.; Introduction. Regular physical activity during childhood and adolescence has been associated with multiple physical, psychological, and social benefits. Nevertheless, inactivity levels remained high and unequally distributed according to sex, age, and socio-economic status.Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze inequalities in physical activity among children and adolescents in the Basque Country within the framework of the Global Matrix 5.0 initiative, identifying differences by sex, age, and socioeconomic level, as well as their evolution compared with the 2018–2021 cycle. Methodology. The research was based on a descriptive and comparative analysis conducted by a panel of six experts from academic and governmental institutions. Twenty-three data sources corresponding to the 2022–2025 period was compiled through a multilevel search strategy that integrated scientific literature, institutional reports, and accelerometer-based studies. Eleven indicators were evaluated using the standardized criteria of the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance and graded on a scale from A+ to F according to the level of compliance. Results. The results showed improvements in overall physical activity (B+/B), physical fitness (C+), and public policy (B), while sleep and sedentary behaviors received the lowest grades (F). Girls presented a slight advantage in overall physical activity and active transportation, whereas adolescence showed the sharpest declines, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged contexts.Conclusions. These findings were consistent with previous European studies showing a pro-gressive decline in physical activity with age and a sustained increase in sedentary behavior.It is concluded that the Basque Country has advanced in public policy and physical activity promotion, although challenges related to sleep, sedentary behavior, and social equity persist.

Trabajando por una política de promoción de la actividad fisica y deportiva de la infancia y adolescencia vasca basada en evidencias Albisua, Neritzel El presente trabajo recoge la experiencia y los principales resultados de la participación en el proyecto Global Matrix 4.0 de Euskadi, un proyecto liderado por el Gobierno Vasco, y con la participación de las tres Universidades Vascas: Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU), Universidad de Deusto (Deusto) y Mondragón Unibertsitatea (MU). Este proyecto concreto se enmarca dentro del proyecto Mugiment, un proyecto colaborativo que trabaja para lograr una sociedad vasca activa y en el que participan más de 100 organizaciones. Mediante la metodología propuesta por Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA), los autores y autoras del trabajo que aquí presentamos, bajo la cotutorización del líder escocés y europeo de AHKGA, el profesor John Reilly (University of Strathclyde Glasgow), y la líder del equipo de España, la profesora Susana Aznar (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha), hemos asignado los niveles correspondientes a cada uno de los indicadores que se plantean por la AHKGA (actividad física general, participación en deporte organizado, juego activo, transporte activo, sedentarismo, condición física, familia y pares, escuela, comunidad y ambiente construido y políticas públicas), además de valorar un undécimo indicador relativo al sueño. Una de las conclusiones principales, y que dan píe al eslogan del informe es que “Necesitamos conocer más” para seguir avanzando en el desarrollo de políticas de promoción de actividad física y deporte en la infancia y adolescencia vasca fundamentadas en la evidencia; This work collects the experience and main results of participation in the Global Matrix 4.0 project of the Basque Country, a project led by the Basque Government, and with the participation of the three Basque Universities: University of the Basque Country (UPV / EHU), University of Deusto (Deusto) and Mondragón Unibertsitatea (MU). This specific project is part of the Mugiment project, a collaborative project that works to achieve an active Basque society and in which more than 100 organizations participate. Using the methodology proposed by Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA), and under the supervision of the Scottish and European AHKGA leader, Professor John Reilly (University of Strathclyde Glasgow), and the leader of the Spain team, Professor Susana Aznar (University of Castilla-La Mancha), we have assigned the levels corresponding to each of the indicators that are proposed by the AHKGA (general physical activity, participation in organized sports, active play, active transport, sedentary lifestyle, physical condition, family and peers, school, community and built environment and public policies), in addition to assessing an eleventh indicator related to sleep. One of the main conclusions, and that give rise to the slogan of the report is that "We need to know more" to continue advancing in the development of evidence-based policies to promote physical activity and sport in Basque childhood and adolescence.

This cross-sectional study characterised MVPA accumulation patterns in 513 participants (256 boys, 257 girls; mean age 11.7 ± 3.2 years) from the Basque Country (Spain) using wrist-worn accelerometry (100 Hz; ENMO ≥100 mg; 5-s epochs; GGIR) over seven consecutive days. MVPA bouts were defined using a strict consecutive criterion at thresholds of ≥1, ≥5, and ≥10 minutes. On average, 66.2% of daily MVPA was accumulated in bouts ≥1 minute, 44.7% in bouts ≥5 minutes, and 34.8% in bouts ≥10 minutes. Boys accumulated more total MVPA and a greater proportion in sustained bouts than girls (40.9% vs. 28.8%). Both total and sustained MVPA declined progressively with age. In multivariable models, age (β = −1.93; 95% CI: −2.57 to −1.28) and female sex (β = −14.00; 95% CI: −18.50 to −9.50) were independently associated with lower sustained MVPA (model R² = .126). Sustained MVPA was inversely associated with body mass index after adjustment for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and residential setting (β = −9.05 × 10⁻⁶; p = .028; model R² = .359). These findings indicate that MVPA in youth is predominantly fragmented and that sustained accumulation varies systematically by demographic characteristics.

The sample comprised 672 final-year undergraduates who completed the Short Scale of Creative Self (SSCS) and the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS). A regularized partial correlation network estimated via EBICglasso revealed that the two domains were largely organized into distinct but weakly connected communities. Although cross-construct associations were generally small, bridge centrality analyses identified specific items—particularly those reflecting openness to new ideas and perceived capacity to cope with complex situations—as key connectors between the two systems. Classical centrality indices further indicated that creative personal identity constituted the structural core of the creative self-beliefs network, whereas reflective self-monitoring emerged as central within critical thinking disposition. Community detection analysis further supported a two-community structure consistent with partial segregation between constructs. Overall, the findings suggest that creative self-beliefs and critical thinking disposition function as relatively differentiated yet selectively integrated systems. These results highlight the importance of targeting specific bridge processes when designing educational interventions aimed at fostering both creative and critical thinking in higher education.
