Discuss It!

What does Physical Literacy mean to you?


What is Physical Literacy?

Individuals who are physically literate move with competence in a wide variety of physical activities that benefit the development of the whole person.

-Physical and Health Education Canada


Why is Physical Literacy Important?

If a child misses out on learning fundamental movement skills, or has a negative physical education experience, they are unlikely to chose to take part in a sport activity that requires expertise in that skill

Developmentally Appropriate Skills

Teaching a five-year old to use an overhand throw for accuracy by asking him/her to stand 10m away and throw a regulation size softball to a small target

Giving him/her a smaller ball, standing him/her closer to a larger target• This creates greater success and better

FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLSFUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS

FMS Defined

• A common motor activity with specific movement patterns … which form the foundation for more advanced and specific movement activities (p. 253)

Gabbard, C. P. (2000). Lifelong motor development. Toronto: Allyn & Bacon


Why Are FMS Important?

• Fundamental Movement Skills: Are the basic building blocks for the

overall development of physical literacy

Are critical for children to become competent in sporting activities

Without them, many children and youth choose to withdraw from sport


Canadian Sport for Life. Developing Physical Literacy: A Guide For Parents of Children Ages 0-12

Categories of FMS

• FMS include:

• Stability skills: includes the ability to sense a shift in the body and adjust for it

• Locomotor skills: consist of total body movement

• Object manipulation: a force given or

receivedEver Active Schools: A Taste of FMS

FMS Progression

• There is typically a developmental progression amongst the skills

• Children must master certain stability skills before they can progress onto locomotor skills (Stopping involves stability)

• Manipulative skills are generally the last to emerge


The Phases of Movement

Four Phases1.Preparation2.Force production3.Critical instant4.Follow-through/Recovery

Key Ideas Use all the body parts (joints) that can be used Use them through as great a range of motion as

is naturally possible Critical instant is the moment of release Follow through in the direction you want the

“force” to go


Example: The Golf Swing
