- 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.
