Why is it important?
Physical literacy has emerged as a critical term in the field of physical education/physical activity. To better understand the importance of physical literacy, we need to base our assumptions and observations on theories such as achievement goal theory. This article explains the development of this theory, summarized research findings, and pointed where to go for researchers and practitioners.
