Physical Literacy and Paedatrics: Moving with Confidence and Competence
Only 35% of 5-17 year old children and youth are reaching their recommended physical activity levels. On top of that, research shows that children are also engaging in 51% more screen time than is recommended by the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth (Participaction, 2018). In Episode 6 of Medicine in Motion Podcast, we chat with Dr. John Cairney, a researcher and professor at the University of Toronto, Dr. Leigh Vanderloo, a Knowledge Translation Manager at ParticipACTION, and Raf, a high school teacher in the Greater Toronto Area. Tune in as we discuss with experts across the healthcare and education sectors why physical literacy is so important for children of all ages. ParticipACTION (2018).
