Physical Literacy
what is meant by monism (the foundations of physical literacy)
moves away from a dualistic approach = i.e that physical activity is only good for physical wellbeing
as appropriate to each individuals environment, physical literacy can be described as …. (Whitehead, 2010)
the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to maintain physical activity throughout the life course
what does physical literacy encompass (the foundations of physical literacy)
encompasses doing, interpreting, responding and understanding
what is meant by holistic framework (the foundations of physical literacy)
enables inclusion of human cognition and emotion and influence on physical activity and vice verca
what does physical literacy signals an interplay with our surroundings link to
culture and society are influenctual
what is meant by physical literacy has non-exclusive connotations
indicating that everyone can achieve physical literacy, it doesn’t matter is you are old, young or if you have a disability
wHo needs physical literacy
Children, adults and elderly
increased levels of ability and perceived ability in children lead to what (Cairney, 2019)
increased physical activity
Physically active adults have reduced
Mortality
what are the three domains of physical literacy
physical capacity domain
affective domain
cognitive domain
Cognitive domain
This is where we can know why and when physical activity is good and who it is good for
physical capacity domain
affective domain
cognitive domain
physical literacy predicts the physical activity and sedentary behaviours of youth
a longitudinal study assessed physical literacy by measuring what
physical competence
self perceived competence
pleasure and preference for physical activity
a longitudinal study assessed physical activity by measuring what
engagement in physical activity
time spent in sedentary behaviour
physical competency is difficult to define, but it can be said proficiency in fundamental ….
proficiency in fundamental motor skills including locomotor and object control skills
physical competency is difficult to define, but it can be said the degree of skilled performance …..
in a wide range of motor tasks as well as the movement coordination and control underlying a particular outcome
physical competency is difficult to define, but it can be said a persons movement ….
a persons movement coordination quality when performing different motor skills, ranging on a continuum from gross to fine motor skills
Physical / motor competence can be assessed in two ways
Product (outcome) oriented
Process (technique) oriented
what factors influence motor competence
age, sex and training
Q
how is balance affected by age and sex
balance increases as age does
(<10 years, girls balance better than boys)
how is locomotion affected by sex
girls develop advanced locomotor skills earlier
how is object control affected by sex
most studies show boys develop object control skills earlier than girls
what is self perceived perception
a persons perception of his or her motor competence
research suggests what about sex and perceiving physical competency
research suggests boys and girls perceive physical competence differently
who play an influential role in children’s development of self perception
parents, teachers, caregivers and coaches
what effect does anthropometry (body type e.g weight) have of children’s self perception
have been shown to have significantly lower self perceptions of physical competence
Logan et al (2015) suggested that there is some evidence about what in the relationship of physical activity and motor competence
some evidence that the relationship strengthens with age
studies found that children above the age of 8 have what correlations between perceived motor competence and physical activity
positive correlations
how is the spiral of engagement linked to perceived motor competence (negative spiral)
young kids that do not perceive themselves to be very competent may end up in a negative spiral where they involve themselves less and less which can impact their health
sporting new zealand intervention aims to
Increase physical activity levels across the lifespan using a three progned approach in particular physcial litracy approach
what are the main challenges to assessing physical literacy
wide range of movement skills
no standardised tests
tests often lack ecological validity
assessments often involve skill instructions or demonstrations
time
two ways to become more physically literate
exposure to a range of physical activities that act to promote both the skill itself and self perceived competence
track progress
As appropriate to each individuals endowment physical litracy can be described as the ……
Motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to maintain physcial activity throughout the course of life
