Moving well-being well

The main goal of this exploratory research is to identify what and how constructs of Physical Literacy [1] can inform the development of interventions. Being Physical Literate provides children of all abilities and dispositions with the foundations on which to build a lifelong commitment to, and enjoyment of, physical activity. \ud In the Primary school period, the constructs of physical literacy need to be further developed and soundly established. These constructs relate to motivation, confidence, motor competence and knowledge and understanding. This is a critical period covering a significant time when competences and attitudes are often achieved and formed, none more so important as motor competence and self confidence in the area of physical activity. \ud [1] Whitehead, Margaret, ed.
