Purpose:
To compare the estimated indices of physical activity in Ukraine, Poland, and other countries in accordance with Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA) standards.

Methods:
The study of schoolchildren’s physical activity in Ukraine was performed in 2016 in age groups of 12–14 years (n = 1893, 899 boys and 994 girls) and 15–17 years (n = 925, 449 boys and 476 girls). The results of AHKGA databases and Report Cards on Physical Activity for Children and Youth from different countries were analysed.

Results:
In 2016, 38 countries from 6 continents provided reports to AHKGA. In 2018, there were 49 such countries. In accordance with the AHKGA criteria, children and adolescents’ physical activity is marked from A (highest level) to F (lowest level). The results for Ukrainian schoolchildren pointed at the following indices of physical activity level: active play – C; organized sport and physical activity – D; active transportation – B. Poland’s Report Card for Physical Activity for Children and Youth implied the following indices: organized sport and physical activity – D; active transportation – C. There were no data on active play indices in Poland. Clear patterns of the countries’ economic development indices influence on the selected physical activity indices were not established.

Conclusions:
According to AHKGA standards, organized sport and physical activity in Ukraine is rated D, active play – C, and active transportation – B. Organized sport and physical activity and active transportation in Poland are rated D and C, respectively. No data are available on the active play segment in Poland.
