The primary objective of this study was to examine the use of this term in reference to active, health-associated levels of PA. The primary inclusion criterion was the use of the key terms “physical activity, sport, active, or recreation” in combination with “participation” as a measurable construct. Three trained research assistants independently screened titles and abstracts using this primary inclusion criterion. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) standard guidelines were followed, as per recommended practice. The final data set was reviewed for emergent themes in the guiding framework, definition of key terms and assessment measures. Assessments used included the Children's Activity, Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) measure, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and the Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS). There are challenges, however, with translating this to a scale of health, because we know little about the children's physical and psychosocial experiences while engaged in sport. Similarly, differences in frequency or intensity between age groups, gender, or disability status.
