    Physical literacy provides overall well-being and health benefits for children and lays the foundation for lifelong physical activity. It involves developing fundamental movement skills, physical competence, physical confidence, and an understanding of and motivation for physical activity. Only a third of children and high schoolers get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity, so schools should promote and teach physical literacy through physical education programs, recess, gym class, and extracurricular sports to encourage an active lifestyle.
