Physical literacy is the development of fundamental movement skills needed for daily activities, physical activity, sport and movement.
Developing physical literacy is essential for children’s optimal growth and development. It sets the path for a life-long relationship with physical activity, learning new skills, and good physical and mental health.
Although physical literacy can be developed at any stage in life, it is best to start early because intensive brain development forming critical neural connections occurs in the first five years of life.
Fundamental movement skills involve moving various body parts on land, air, water, and ice or snow. These movement skills form the basis of physical literacy and must be learned and practised by children to build competence in their movements and confidence in their abilities.
Fundamental movement skills include:
A growing number of alarming trends are contributing to a generation of inactive children and sending them on a dangerous path.
High levels of sedentary time, particularly screen time at a young age, have been associated with higher body fat, poor diet and lower self-regulation, lower cognitive development, social and mental health challenges, slower motor development and reduced cardiovascular health.
This generation will need to become habitually physically active to grow into healthy, resilient adults who can survive and thrive in a changing world.
Together, we must focus on movement behaviour change and strengthening physical literacy in children, for whom a timely early intervention will lead to vastly superior health outcomes over their lifespan.
