- What is physical literacy?
- What are the benefits of being physically literate?
The term physical literacy describes the motivation, confidence,
physical competence, understanding and knowledge that individuals
develop in order to maintain physical activity at an appropriate
level throughout their life. Physical literacy encompasses far more
than physical education in schools or structured sporting
activities, offering instead a broader conception of physical
activity, unrelated to ability. Through the use of particular
pedagogies and the adoption of new modes of thinking, physical
literacy promises more realistic models of physical competence and
physical activity for a wider population, offering opportunities
for everyone to become active and motivated participants.
This is the first book to fully explore the meaning and
significance of this important and emerging concept, and also the
first book to apply the concept to physical activity across the
lifecourse, from infancy to old age. Physical Literacy explaining
the philosophical rationale behind the concept and also including
contributions from leading thinkers, educationalists and
practitioners is essential reading for all students and
professionals working in physical education, all areas of sport and
exercise, and health.
