what does whitehead describe physical literacy as
motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to maintain physical activity throughout the life course
what does physical literacy encompass
doing, interpert, repsonding, and understanding.
signlaling an interpay with our surroundings. culture and society influential
what is monism
moves away from dualistic approach, i.e., that physical activity is only good for physical well-being.
what are the properties of physical literacy ?
affective, cognitive and physical domains.
related constructs
holistic concept
target audience
progression/developmental pathway
why does physical literacy matter ?
Physical literacy predicts the physical activity and sedentary behaviours of youth.
what was physical literacy assessed using a combination of to capture various domains of construct
Physical Competence
Cognitive Competence
Pleasure and Preference for Physical Activity
PA levels that were assessed in PL
Engagement in physical activity (PA)
* Time spent in sedentary behaviour (SB)
3 different groups for PA levels in PL
1) Active (high PA, low SB), Unhealthy (low PA high SB), 3) Active Screeners (high PA
and SB)
were Females with high PL more likely to transition from low PA to active screeners group
yes
Physical / motor competence can be assessed in two ways:
Product (outcome) oriented
Process (technique, often qualitative) oriented
Factors influencing FMS competence
age - sex - training
influences effecting balance
as you get older you get more balance. Effect of sex generally depends on age (<10 yrs, girls
balance better than boys), but some mixed results
Locomotion influences
Girls develop advanced locomotor skills earlier
Object control influences
Most studies show boys develop advanced object
control skills earlier than girls
Not many high quality studies on interventions or
training on FMS. Some evidence for positive effect in
children ~4 – 6 yrs.
self-perceived motor competence.
A person’s perception of his or her motor competence
Assessing Self-Perceived Competence
riginal athletic sub-scale had 6 questions (Harter, 1985).
Southall et al. (2004) added 12 questions to enhance reliability and validity.
young children and Self-Perceived Motor Competence
limited accuracy, inflated levels of perceived
competence
For children <7 yrs, ↑effort = ↑motor skill competence
But, might be an important drive persistence and engagement
Self-Perceived Motor Competence. Effect of sex and influences on this
esearch suggests boys and girls perceive physical competence differently. Parents, caregivers, teachers, and coaches all play an influential role in children’s development of self-perception.
Effect of anthropometry: on self -perceibed
Overweight children have been shown to have significantly lower self-perceptions of physical competence (Southall et al., 2004).
Systematic reviews examined the relationship between PA and FMS in young children (~3 – 6 yrs). positiev associations
Positive association between PA and FMS. Limited evidence that PA drives development of
FMS
Systematic reviews examined the relationship between PA and FMS in young children (~3 – 6 yrs). limitations?
✓ Intensity of PA may be important
Not enough evidence yet to determine effect of sex
* But, object control skills and locomotor skills
tend to be more strongly related in boys and
girls, respectively (Logan et al, 2015)
older children and actual Motor Competence and Physical Activity
Graf. 6.7yr children, FMS positively
correlated with PA (p = 0.035)
Logan et al (2015)
Some evidence that
relationship strenghtens with
age.
castalli. 9.5 yr children, FMS positively
correlated with PA (r = 0.55, p <
0.01)
Changing relationship between perceive
as you get older there becomes a relationship between PMC and PA. at 5 year there was no correlation.
what does sport intervention aim to do with PL.
aims to increase physical activity levels across the lifespan using a three pronged approach, in particular the Physical Literacy Approach
