What is physical literacy?
Physical literacy, or ‘rörelserikedom’ in Swedish, takes a holistic view of each individual’s ability to move.
Physical literacy is not the same as physical activity or fitness; it includes motivation, self-confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding. It allows each individual to develop their mobility skills and feel motivated and excited about movement.
The more daring and willing a person is to be physically active in different social contexts and physical environments, the better their chances of having an active, healthy life and to grow and flourish as a human being.
