Defining Physical Literacy in US Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Poster abstract: Physical literacy (PL) consists of the domains: affective, physical, cognitive, and behavioral. Like many other concepts in health, measuring PL is challenging as the research is not adequate to develop a functional definition of PL particularly in reference to lifespan and environmental contexts. A qualitative study using the Physical Activity During COVID-19 Questionnaire (PADCQ) was conducted January-March 2021 online. US participant responses (235) illustrated the four PL domains in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings could further define PL in adult populations during COVID-19 and could be used to create PL strategies for situations where lifestyle is restricted.
