Simplyput:
“Physical literacy is when kids have developed the
skills and confidence to be physically active for life.”

Today’s Children are the Most Inactive in History – the first to have a Shorter Life Expectancy than their Parents
• There has been a rapid and unprecedented decline in kid’s levels of physical activity over recent decades
• Today’s kids don’t learn to move early in life because they play inactive games indoors rather than active games outdoors
• They spend an average of 8 hours per day in front of a screen
• Inactivity is making them sick
• The impact on health is material and will only get worse over time unless corrective measures are taken
