Main Results:

  • Canada produced 5,302 articles (4.9% of global research) between 1990-2005.
  • Ontario (49%) led in research output, followed by Quebec (21%).
  • Biomedical and clinical research dominated (39% each), with lower focus on population health (14%) and health services (2%).

Conclusions:

  • Canadian physical activity research productivity aligns with global trends.
  • Underrepresentation in population health and health services research may hinder public health policy.
  • Increased focus on population health and health services is needed to address physical inactivity and obesity.
