Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of systematic reviews on physical literacy and discuss their practical implications in primary education. The paper respects the methodology in conducting a systematic review of systematic reviews of health care interventions. Seven databases (PubMed, Scopus, ERIC, DOAJ, Google Scholar, CDSR and DARE) were searched in October 2024 using the terms physical literacy and review. Eligible publications were high-quality peer-reviewed systematic reviews relevant to the topic and population. Two reviewers checked the publications, and disagreements were resolved by consensus. The AMSTAR tool was used to assess the quality of systematic reviews. The initial search found 360 records, and two publications were included in the review. Their topics focus on the measurement of physical literacy and the effects of interventions. The presented findings may have implications for implementation in primary education. Physical literacy has potential as a holistic basis for public health prevention of adverse conditions of children’s biopsychosocial development. Creating a physically literate generation could be the answer to numerous public health problems.
