Physical literacy is a fundamental and valuable human capability that can be described as a disposition acquired by human individuals encompassing the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding that establishes purposeful physical pursuits as an integral part of their lifestyle. The fundamental and significant aspects of physical literacy are: * everyone can be physically literate as it is appropriate to each individual’s endowment * everyone’s physical literacy journey is unique * physical literacy is relevant and valuable at all stages and ages of life * the concept embraces much more than physical competence * at the heart of the concept is the motivation and commitment to be active * the disposition is evidenced by a love of being active, born out of the pleasure and satisfaction individuals experience in participation * a physically literate individual values and takes responsibility for maintaining purposeful physical pursuits throughout the lifecourse. * charting of progress of an individual’s personal journey must be judged against previous achievements and not against any form of national benchmarks ==General== The concept of physical literacy has been developed over many years. It is seen, by a growing number of people, as the goal of the school subject, physical education. However, whilst this is extremely relevant, it is important to recognise that physical literacy is not restricted to the school years – it is relevant throughout the lifecourse. In this respect, six phases of physical literacy have been identified: infancy, childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood and older adulthood. Over the past few years there has been considerable interest, world-wide, in the concept of physical literacy. In Great Britain, a number of local authorities have adopted it as an overall guiding principle for their work in school-based physical education. In countries such as Northern Ireland and Canada, physical literacy has been the focus for considerable rethinking in respect of children’s physical development and has consequently been the inspiration behind the development of new programmes. However, there have been a number of interpretations of the concept that have moved away from the central tenets of physical literacy. For example, in some instances physical literacy has been the name given to a programme of fundamental movement skills, implying that the concept is solely about the acquisition of physical competence. Other interpretations have focused on knowledge and understanding, particularly in the games context. Both these scenarios include elements of physical literacy, but do not represent the whole story.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Physical literacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
