Physical Literacy and Rehabilitation

Canada20 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

With the aging population, the prevalence of chronic conditions continues to rise, affecting 1/3 of Canadians. The promotion of physical literacy, defined as "the motivation, confidence, physical competence and knowledge, to take responsibility for engagement in physical activity for life", has emerged as a promising strategy to increase movement for children. However, little is known about how physical literacy can impact aging adults. A working definition of physical literacy for adults focusing on mobility, function and self-monitoring provides opportunity to guide public health programs in addressing the rehabilitation needs of persons living with multiple chronic conditions.
