“…Over 295 publications were retrieved, however we limited our contextual readings to 55 based on their relevancy to our focus on PL, active aging, and health. These publications included: Five studies focused on the definitions and perspectives of PL ( 16 , 55 – 58 ), Six systematic reviews ( 7 , 9 , 15 , 21 , 59 , 60 ), Five scoping reviews ( 1 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 61 ), One integrated review ( 12 ), A narrative review ( 14 ), Twenty-six studies of healthy aging ( 7 , 8 , 10 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 22 , 62 – 80 ), Four articles addressing PL measurement and measuring tools [( 9 , 13 , 21 , 61 ); Robinson and Randall, 2017], Five articles on perceived PL instruments and questionnaires ( 81 – 85 ), and Two articles that posed new PL models for active aging ( 12 , 86 ). …”

Physical literacy (PL), a concept commonly associated with the early years, physical education, and youth sport development, can become a meaningful determinant of health and longevity for the adult and older adult population. A review of 55 recent publications from 2018 to 2023 that encompassed physical literacy conceptual frameworks, assessments, and intervention-based studies was undertaken through an heuristic inspired by the philosophy which gave birth to PL. With particular interest in how PL has evolved in response to the needs of an aging population, this position paper tracks a key shift in focus from the individual to the relational context. It references positive interaction and social participation in recent models as significant features of an across-the-lifespan PL perspective.The concluding position is that fostering joyful inter-action be at the heart of PL promotion, resource development and assessment practices, especially in the case of an aging population.

“…The Australian Physical Literacy Framework (APLF) extends the IPLA’s definition and domains, which has been recognized by many PL researchers [ 20 ]. Furthermore, many reviews have found that PL primarily encompasses physical, psychological/affective, cognitive and social domains [ 15 , 21 – 23 ]. Thus, the Australian PL definition is arguably one of the most comprehensive to date and also encompasses more psychological and social elements than the IPLA definition; therefore it will be adopted for the present study.…”

Background Given the growing evidence on the health benefits associated with physical literacy (PL), it is necessary to develop sound measures to assess the levels of PL in children. The Physical Literacy in Children Questionnaire (PL-C Quest) is the first self-report pictorial-based scale to assess children’s perceived PL. It has good validity and reliability in Australian children aged 7 to 12 years, but little is known in younger children and in other cultural contexts. The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability in an expanded age range. Methods A total of 1,870 Chinese children (girls, n = 871; 46.6%), aged 4 to 12 years (M = 8.07 ± 2.42) participated in validity testing. Structural equation modeling with the Weighted Least Squares with Mean and Variance approach was used to assess construct validity. The hypothesized theoretical model used the 30 items and four hypothesized factors: physical, psychological, social and cognitive capabilities. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess sex and age group (4–6 years, 7–9 years and 10–12 years) measurement invariance. Internal consistency analyses were conducted using polychoric alpha. A random subsample (n = 262) was selected to determine test–retest reliability using Intra-Class Correlations (ICC). Results All items except one (moving with equipment–skateboarding) loaded on sub-domains with λ > 0.45. The hypothesized model had a good fit (CFI = 0.954, TLI = 0.950, RMSEA = 0.042), with measurement equivalence across sex and age groups separately. Internal consistency values were good to excellent (overall: α = 0.94; physical: α = 0.86; psychological: α = 0.83; social: α = 0.81; cognitive: α = 0.86). Test–retest reliability was adequate to excellent (overall: ICC = 0.90, physical: ICC = 0.86, psychological: ICC = 0.75, social: ICC = 0.71, cognitive: ICC = 0.72). Conclusion The Chinese version of the PL-C Quest is valid and reliable for testing the self-reported PL of Chinese children aged 4 to 12. This study provides the first evidence of validity for this tool in children aged 4–6 years and also evidence that the PL-C Quest would be a meaningful instrument to assess PL in Chinese children.
