The validity of the Physical Literacy in Children Questionnaire in children aged 4 to 12.

Background: Given the growing evidence on the health benefits associated with physical literacy (PL), it is necessary to develop sound measures to assess the levels of PL in children. The Physical Literacy in Children Questionnaire (PL-C Quest) is the first self-report pictorial-based scale to assess children's perceived PL. It has good validity and reliability in Australian children aged 7 to 12 years, but little is known in younger children and in other cultural contexts.

A systematic review of tools designed for teacher proxy-report of children's physical literacy or constituting elements.

Teachers can assist children to acquire the skills, confidence, and creativity required to perform diverse movements and physical activities.

First, physical literacy is introduced and then defined according to the definition used in this communication. Secondly, we highlight the gap in physical literacy interventions, in that they do not address learning based on a holistic comprehensive definition of physical literacy.
