What is this new concept of physical literacy?
A child’s motor skills are one of the most important predictors of high levels of physical activity in adulthood (Stodden, 2017). This training will address the innovative concept of physical literacy and the stages of development between 0-12 years of age from the perspective of overall health and academic achievement.
Physical literacy represents the set of fundamental abilities and values (motivation, confidence, foundations, skills, knowledge, and responsibilities) that enable a person to move with mastery in a variety of physical, athletic, and rhythmic activities.
