Abstract
Being active is good for both our minds and bodies, but many people worldwide are not moving enough. There are lots of reasons for this, and there are lots of ways we can help people to move more. Just like literacy is about our ability to read and write, physical literacy is about our ability to be active, as well as understanding what we enjoy and value about being active. Our thoughts, feelings, and all the physical activities that we have done before impact how we feel about moving. Playing in a park with friends and trying hard to catch a ball are examples of things that can change how we think about being active, now and in the future. Physical literacy is different for everyone, and it changes all the time. This article will explain what physical literacy is and why it is a very important part of growing up.
