Abstract

The term "physical literacy" has been embraced by a number of different countries around the world. Although the concept has regained momentum over the past few decades, little has been written about specific activities that may assist in providing the foundation for physical literacy as a life-long journey. This article introduces selected physical training concepts and activities based on national standards. Key benefits and teaching objectives related to both performance enhancement and injury prevention are provided.
