  17. What is it?

  18. The motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for maintaining purposeful physical pursuits/activities throughout the life course. M. Whitehead July 2013

  19. Physical Literacy for Life • Sport & Recreation • Fundamental Movement Skills – General Movement Sequences – Performance in sports • Vocational • Firefighter, armed services, dry waller, iron worker, underwater welder, etc. • Activities of Daily Living • Garden, paint, hammer, walk on slippery surfaces, etc. • Injury Prevention • Lift, carry, transfer, lower – back injury in the workplace • Falls, stumble recovery, landing – wrist and hip fractures in the elderly • ACL: Female to Male ratio is 6:1, physical literacy related! Physical literacy is a critical part of being a human being. Period.

  20. Individuals who are physically literate move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person. PHE Canada, 2010

  21. TYPES OF FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS BODY LOCOMOTOR OBJECT Running Jumping Swimming Sliding / Skating Agility Balance Coordination Speed Rhythm Sending Receiving Dribbling Striking

  23. Physicalliteracy is crucial to the acquisition, by every child, youth, and adult of essential life skills which is an indispensable means for active participation in the societies and economies of the twenty first century. Adapted from UNESCO

  24. Literacy Model Numeracy • 123 • Fractions • Equations Physical Literacy • Fundamental movements • Sequences • Tasks Music • Do-re-mi • Scale • Score Literacy • ABC • Words • Sentences

  25. Aligning Physical Literacy with Literacy • Movement Vocabulary • An individuals repertoire of movement skills (or sequence of skills) • Movement Fluency • The ability to execute a component of movement vocabulary with expertise. • Physical Proficiency • The ability to select and proficiently execute movement vocabulary suitable to an environmentor setting. • Physical Literacy • Physical literacy is the ability to demonstrate physical proficiencies in multiple environments.

  26. Movement Fluency Physical Proficiency Movement Vocabulary Physical Literacy Physical literacy: a journey not a destination.

  27. Literacy: a success story!

  32. Physical Literacy Assessment

  33. Physical literacy is more than just …running form.

  34. Running • Emerging (up to 3 years) • Developing • 3 to about 8 where mature form can be achieved • Mature form (grade 5) • Competence • Speed of running still increases!! even if you meet basic age related milestones for mature form of running • Expert mastery or full proficiency (Age 25 – 29) – Usain Bolt.

  38. Passport for Life has four components • Self report of Participation • Self report of Life Skills • Objective assessment of Fitness • Core strength • CV fitness • Dynamic balance • Objective assessment of Movement • Locomotor task • Catch and throw task • Kicking tasks

  39. Physical Literacy is a life-long journey • Physical literacy is not an end-point, but a journey. • It is best acquired early, but can be developed at any time. • We can assess developmental building blocks of PL, but cannot say “you are fully physically literate” • Once PL is developed, it must be maintained. • Building a physically literate community means building community environments that support individual physical literacy…in schools, in sport, at work and throughout the built environment!

  40. So how do we build a physically literate community?

  41. We have lots of good ideas…

  42. Thing 1:You need a rallying point for community building.(“Interaction before action.”)

  43. Physical Literacy: common ground, common goal To sport: PL is a foundation for excellence… To recreation: PL is a social good, essential for a full life… To publichealth: PL is the foundation of wellness and a key to preventive health care… To education: PL is essential to the development of the whole individual and supports other kinds of learning…

  44. We need to work together! Shelton and Way 2009

  45. Thing 2:Building community means empowering people to overcome institutional obstacles.
