Why is physical literacy important?

Physically literate children lead healthy active lives. This benefits them in a number of ways including:

• Increased creativity, readiness for learning, and academic performance.
• Improved concentration, memory, problem solving, and attention span.
• Better behaviour, less bullying, and less violence.
• Safer and healthier relationships.
• Overall personal satisfaction.
