Physical Literacy Interventions (Physical Literacy Interventions)
Internally funded project
Acronym: Physical Literacy Interventions

End date : 31.12.2022
Project details
Short description
The physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) model and the physical literacy approach, which is largely discussed on the international level, assume both that different person-related factors (e.g., motivation, physical competence, knowlegde) are required to lead a physically active lifestyle. Although both approaches have elaborate theoretical underpinnings, there are comparably few suggestions how to transform the underlying conceptual ideas into practical interventions. In this Australian-German cooperation project, we first shed light on the characteristics of physical literacy intervention studies by conducting a systematic literature search. In the planned analyses, main focus is placed on the (a) theoretical background of the intervention studies, (b) the conceptualization of intervention components, and (c) the effectiveness of interventions. In the second part of the Project (in planning), an intervention model is developed which considers the integrative ideas for conveying processes.
