Description
Tay and co-authors measure physical literacy in Singapore children and find the results limited. Physical literacy covers the drive, knowledge, and skill to stay active for life. Strong levels in childhood may guard against later chronic disease, yet direct measures are rare in Asian population studies.
The team assessed 726 children, aged about 11, from the GUSTO birth cohort. Children answered the CAPL-2 survey on feeling and thinking parts of physical literacy. A subset of 360 also took part in further checks. The study links scores to personal and neighborhood traits, and draws lessons for public health.
