Abstract
To describe the prevalence and trends of physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents from Ensanut 2012 and Ensanut MC 2016. Physical activity levels were obtained from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) and the International Physical Activity (IPAQ) questionnaires for children and adolescents respectively. More than 80% of the children and 35% of the adolescents in Mexico do not meet the PA recom¬mendations. From 2012-2016, girls and schoolchildren in the rural area showed an increase in participation in organized activities and sports. The prevalence of PA is low in children and adolescents and the trend has not improved in the last six years.
