Physical literacy promotes lifelong participation by developing what?

• A. Confidence and competence in movement across activities
• B. Long-term financial stability
• C. Advanced tactical planning
• D. Only focusing on elite athletes

Answer: (A)

Physical literacy is about gaining the skills, confidence and motivation to move smoothly across a wide range of activities. When people feel capable in many movements, they’re more likely to enjoy and continue being active throughout life, which leads to lifelong participation in physical activity. This captures the idea of transferable ability and a positive attitude toward movement in different settings, not just a single sport or elite level.

The other ideas don’t fit because financial stability isn’t determined by movement skills, advanced tactical planning is a specific skill set not the overall aim of physical literacy, and focusing only on elite athletes ignores the inclusive, lifelong aspect of being active in many contexts.
