Difference on Physical Literacy between Age and Frequencies of Physical Activity

The physical activity participation is of importance given the numerous health benefits associated with individuals’ health and well-being, and the concept of physical literacy (PL) is positively related to the involvement in sport and physical activities, and is an important component to lead the self-initiated physically active lifestyle as well. The purpose of this study is to examine the difference on PL between different age groups and the physical activity levels. This study used the data collected by national survey on sports for all data analysis in 2020. Information was obtained from 9,000 participants sampled by stratified multi-stage cluster sampling method. However, only information obtained 6,194 participants was used after deleting all missing data using the listwise deletion method. Results obtained from the two-way ANOVA indicated that interactions between physical activity and age groups. The results showed that there was a relatively consistent pattern across age after controlling the frequencies of participating daily physical activities. In addition, dramatical decline of awareness of degrees of PL was shown in Group A and B at freq 8 (every day). Such results of this study obtained from such features could be useful to understand general tendencies of awareness of PL but might have an intrinsic limitation of delving into awareness of PL in detail.
