More than 500 researchers from around the world participate in the 'Global Matrix' project, and it is led by the prestigious Canadian researcher Mark Tremblay.

Although participation is generally typical of countries, in this fourth edition the novelty of regional contributions is introduced.

In this sense, the Region of Murcia will carry out its own report on physical activity ratings, being a pioneer in terms of regional inclusion. The Mayor of Archena, Patricia Fernández, has been delighted and stated that "with this project we intend to facilitate a mechanism of public awareness and a call to action through public policies related to the physical activity of children and adolescents." Likewise, the Mayor has declared that "one of the objectives is to prevent or reduce the problem that sedentary lifestyle entails and that leads to chronic diseases in adulthood and old age."
