Abstract :
[en] Physical literacy, defined as the motivation, confidence, competence, knowledge, and understanding to engage in physical activity for life, is a foundational concept for promoting sustained physical activity and improved health outcomes. This presentation by Prof. Alexandre Mouton explores the role of physical literacy within healthcare settings, emphasizing the need to integrate it more thoroughly into health interventions. Despite its recognized importance in child development, physical literacy remains underutilized and under-researched in adult populations, particularly among older adults and those with chronic diseases. Through a comprehensive review of literature and a series of pilot interventions, Prof. Mouton illustrates the potential of physical literacy to bridge the gap between clinical rehabilitation and community-based exercise programs. The findings suggest that physical literacy can be a catalyst for behavior change, improving both individual and public health outcomes.
