Article Synopsis
- The PLAYself is a tool used to measure physical literacy in children and teens, but there's no similar tool for adults; this study focuses on evaluating its effectiveness in young adults aged 18-25.
- Researchers analyzed data from 245 participants using various statistical methods to determine the reliability and structure of the PLAYself subsections.
- The study found that the Physical Literacy Self-Description subsection had the best reliability and could potentially serve as a useful assessment tool for young adults' physical literacy until better options are available.
Background: Despite the known risks of physical inactivity, only 50% of adults meet the recommended guidelines for physical activity (PA). Therefore, numerous interventions have been designed to increase PA across a lifespan. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effectiveness of interventions based on the transtheoretical model to improve PA in healthy adults.
