Problem
We are taking a closer look at group and individual training and conditioning through lifetime physical activity. Current research has pointed Educators/Coaches/Instructors/Clinicians to the understanding that improved childhood physical literacy increases lifetime physical activity. Therefore, Educators/Coaches/Instructors/Clinicians should strive to account for and address key stages within child development when planning for team/group/individual exercise and activity programs.
• Define Physical Literacy. How does Physical Literacy influence lifetime Physical Activity? Why is this topic important to discuss and understand?
• Using The Aspen Institute's Developing Physical Literacy: Intervention Points (p.6) as a starting point, design a fun 10 minute activity for a group of U.S. School age 4th Graders, (8-10 year olds). In your design, see if you can include as many Components of Fitness into the program as possible.
