Summary
Physical literacy (PL) is a holistic pedagogical model in physical education (PE) that fosters motor competence and lifelong physical activity (PA). It enhances student learning and well-being through autonomy, inclusion, and collaboration.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Sports Science
- Pedagogy
Background:
- Educational systems are evolving, shifting physical education (PE) from behaviorist to holistic approaches.
- Physical literacy (PL) emerges as a key pedagogical model in school PE.
- PL aims to develop students' motor competence safely, efficiently, and meaningfully.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the origins, foundations, and educational value of PL.
- To highlight PL's potential for holistic and inclusive learning.
- To establish PL as an emerging pedagogical model in PE.
Main Methods:
- A narrative review of scientific literature on PL and PE was conducted.
- Searches were performed in major databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, SportDiscus) up to June 2025.
- Analysis included historical, philosophical, theoretical, and methodological aspects of PL.
Main Results:
- PL is grounded in student autonomy, teacher training, environmental connection, inclusion, and collaboration.
- Motivation, enjoyment, creativity, and continuous assessment are crucial for PL implementation.
- PL benefits students physically, cognitively, affectively, and socially, promoting physical activity (PA).
Conclusions:
- Physical literacy (PL) is a dynamic, lifelong process starting in early childhood.
- PL encourages sustained and active participation in physical activity (PA).
- PL serves as an effective pedagogical model for enhancing student learning and well-being in PE.

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...
