“…It seems that being intrinsically motivated in a physical activity is crucial for sustained participation and that the obsession with frequency-based movement metrics, such as time, amount (e.g., counting steps), and distance provides a limited view of experiences. Being learner-centered, NLP should support the satisfaction of the basic needs of autonomy, relatedness and competence and therefore nurture the development of motivation ( Moy et al, 2016 ; Lee et al, 2017 ). Indeed, it provides the child with choice and freedom which may enhance their enjoyment and perceptions of autonomy.…”

“…Indeed, it provides the child with choice and freedom which may enhance their enjoyment and perceptions of autonomy. The respect the teacher or coach gives to the child’s ability to explore, learn and problem solve may also enhance the child’s feelings of relatedness ( Lee et al, 2017 ). The focus on finding different movement solutions to achieve a goal creates a task oriented climate and should, over time, generate a shift in how the child views competence, away from an “ideal” movement performance toward functional, creative movements ( Moy et al, 2016 ; Lee et al, 2017 ).…”

Physical Literacy - A Journey of Individual Enrichment: An Ecological Dynamics Rationale for Enhancing Performance and Physical Activity in All

Internationally, governments, health and exercise practitioners are struggling with the threat posed by physical inactivity leading to worsening outcomes in health and life expectancy and the associated high economic costs. To meet this challenge it is important to enhance the quality, and quantity, of participation in sports and physical activity throughout the life course to sustain healthy and active lifestyles. This paper supports the need to develop a physically literate population, who meaningfully engage in play and physical activity through the development of functional movement skills in enriched environments. This is a shift away from reductionist approaches to physical activity engagement and maintenance to an ecological dynamics approach that focuses on enrichment to support functional movement skill learning and development. This is an embedded approach to physical literacy that allows learners the space and time to “explore–discover” (ecological psychology) within environments that will lead to a concomitant self-organization of highly intricate network of co-dependent sub-systems (anatomical, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, and perceptual-cognitive) resulting in functional movement solutions for the performance task and enduring positive adaptations to subsystems supporting the physical literacy journey across the life course. “Explore-discover adapt” is at the heart of two contemporary learner-centered pedagogies: Non-linear Pedagogy (NLP) and the Athletic Skills Model (ASM). Both emphasize the importance of enrichment experiences from an early age, and throughout life course, and both appreciate the inherent complexity involved in the learning process and the importance of designing a rich and varied range of athletic, participatory experiences that will support the embedded development of physical literacy leading to ongoing physical activity for all. The final part of this paper will demonstrate the potential of an ecological dynamics approach for supporting the concept of physical literacy by providing a roadmap for a reliable and valid measurement of physical literacy when considered from both an ecological dynamics perspective and the phenomenology understanding of physical literacy.

“…In the scientific literature, there are studies on the need to use new non-linear complexes of the physical exercises for the formation of motivation competencies for those involved in a successful functioning (Moy et al, 2016;Podrigalo et al, 2017). It should be noted that the composition of these complexes mainly includes various options for playing exercises from sports and outdoor games (Lee et al, 2017). The experts believe that the use of various mobile and sports games will allow maintaining a high level of motivation of the young people to engage in PA and will ensure the necessary level of the physical activity of the students.…”

“…To improve the level of PA of the students, the teachers use various types of fitness and sports fitness on the physical education classes for the student youth (Chen, Chen, Sun, & Zhu, 2013;Mokrova et al, 2018;Vashchuk et al, 2018;). At the same time, it has been revealed that some foreign specialists in the field of physical education of the individual use various non-linear complexes of the physical exercises actively to form motor skills of the students starting from the school (Moy, Renshaw, & Davids, 2016;Ivashchenko et al, 2017;Lee, Chow, Button, & Keat Tan, 2017). However, it should be emphasized that physical activity is implemented mainly through mobile and sports games in these complexes (Kilborn, Lorusso, & Francis, 2016;Lee et al, 2017).…”

In the Russian Federation, an attempt was made to raise the physical activity of the youth by restoring the physical complex "Ready for Work and Defense" (GTO), which had been previously active in the Soviet Union. It was revealed that a significant part of the country's population including the young people (18-35 years old) are experiencing quite substantial difficulties in passing the test qualifying standards of the GTO complex. The purpose of the article research is to develop an effective individually-differentiated method of the physical preparation of the young people (18-35 years old) for the successful reach of the qualifying standards of the GTO complex. The research participants are the young people (n=219) they are the students, masters' and undergraduate students of the universities aged 18-24 years old (n=112) and 25-35 years old (n=107). The young people were divided into control (CG, n=109) and experimental (EG, n=110) groups. During 5 months (April-August 2019) the young people were engaged in PA 5 training per week. CG members were engaged in various sports games. For EG participants, PA training sessions were built on the basis of an individually differentiated method of the physical fitness proposed by the authors. The volume and intensity of the load PA were adjusted according to the level of physical fitness of the EG participants. The selection of physical exercises was carried out taking into account the harmonious development of the basic physical qualities of the young people. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the methodology proposed by the authors of the article was carried out by comparing the results of the CG and EG participants passing the qualifying standards of the GTO complex at the beginning and at the end of the research period. The statistical processing of the research results was carried out using the statistical analysis software SPSS20. The analysis of the data showed that EG participants reliably (P<0.05) exceed the CG participants in the level of physical fitness for the successful reach of the GTO qualifying standards in both age groups: 18-24 years old and 25-35 years old. The use of the method of physical training of the student youth will significantly increase the level of development of the basic physical qualities of the students in the context of the introduction of the physical training and sports complex GTO.
