FROM PHYSICAL LITERACY TO PHYSICAL SOVEREIGNTY
An integrative framework for movement education across the lifspan.
This handbook brings together scientific foundations, curriculum design, and practical tools for developing meaningful movement experiences across schools, communities, and the life course.
Moving beyond the mere allocation of time for physical activity, it examines how motor competence, embodied confidence, autonomous motivation, and supportive contexts interact to shape sustained participation in movement,
Drawing on the work of Margaret Whitehead and integrating perspectives from motor development, embodied cognition, and self-determination theory, the book proposes Physical Sovereignty as a broader horizon for physical literacy: the capacity to inhabit one's body, expand one's possibilities for action, and participate in movement with competence, confidence, and autonomy.
