Mediation role of cardiorespiratory fitness on association of physical activity and physical literacy among 8–12 years old children: the PAK-IPPL cross-sectional study
The study revealed a strong positive correlation between CRF, PA, and PL, but a negative one with BMI in South Punjab children aged 8-12. Notably, CRF and PA emerged as significant predictors of PL levels in this population. Consequently, interventions that are both systematic and targeted towards improving these factors should be implemented as strategies to enhance children's PL levels and promote physically active behaviors.
