Article Synopsis
- The study aims to validate the French version of the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (PPLI) to measure physical literacy (PL) in young French adults and highlights its importance in promoting physical activity (PA).
- Using a sample of 2,248 young adults, various statistical methods were applied to assess the reliability and validity of the PPLI.
- Results indicate that PL is a significant predictor of PA, with the social and affective dimensions being the strongest influences, contributing to the tool's credibility as a measurement for PL's impact on PA.
Recently, the concept of Physical Literacy (PL) has emerged as a key concept for promoting active behavior and improving health indicators in adolescents. Overweight and obese adolescents have a low level of Physical Activity (PA), low cardiorespiratory capacity, and high Body Fat percentage (%BF). However, the development of PL in the interest of health improvement has never been studied in overweight and obese adolescents.

Recently, the concept of Physical Literacy (PL), has been suggested to be associated with higher levels of active behavior and better health in adolescents. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between PL, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity levels in French secondary school students.

PL has recently gained increasing attention globally and Europe is no exception. However, scientific endeavors summarizing the current state of PL in Europe are lacking.

- The study aimed to develop a new assessment tool for physical literacy (PL) called Évaluation de la Littératie Physique (ELIP) to improve its application in real-world settings.
- Using a Delphi method, experts identified four key dimensions of PL to be assessed: physical, affective, cognitive, and social, emphasizing broad motor skills over fitness tests.
- Cognitive interviews with emerging adults led to modifications of the assessment items, but further work is needed to ensure the tool's validity, reliability, and sensitivity.
