Physical literacy is becoming increasingly popular in sport, recreation, physical education and physical activity settings and programming. We developed an environmental assessment tool to evaluate the extent child and youth activity programs implement physical literacy across four domains: environment, programming, leaders and staff, and values and goals. The Physical Literacy Environmental Assessment (PLEA) tool was developed in 3 phases. First, the PLEA tool was created, content validity established, and physical literacy leaders were consulted. In the second phase, the PLEA tool was completed and tested by 83 child and youth programs and it was validated with individual physical literacy assessments completed on children in programs that scored in the top 10% and bottom 10% on the PLEA tool. Third, a National consultation was conducted, and program leaders provided feedback on the PLEA tool. In Phase 1, the PLEA tool was modified and shortened from 41 to 29 indicators, based on feedback from physical literacy content leaders. In Phase 2, participants in programs that scored in the top 10% had significantly higher scores on the upper body object control domain of PLAYfun (p = 0.018), and significantly higher PLAYself scores (p = 0.04) than participants in programs that scored in the bottom 10%. In Phase 3, over 80% of program leaders identified the PLEA tool was useful, and relevant to their areas of practice. The completed PLEA tool is a 20-item environmental assessment tool to evaluate to what degree child and youth programming implement physical literacy across four domains: environment, programming, leaders and staff, and values and goals. The application and validity of the PLEA tool beyond child and youth physical education, sport, dance and recreation sectors, such as in early years programs, should be investigated.
身体素养在运动、娱乐、体育教育和体育活动环境和项目中变得越来越流行。我们开发了一种环境评估工具，用于评估儿童和青少年活动项目在四个领域实施身体素养的程度：环境、项目、领导和工作人员以及价值观和目标。身体素养环境评估（PLEA）工具分三个阶段开发。首先，创建了 PLEA 工具，确定了内容有效性，并咨询了身体素养专家。在第二阶段，83 个儿童和青年项目完成并测试了 PLEA 工具，并通过对在 PLEA 工具中得分在前 10%和后 10%的项目中的儿童进行个别身体素养评估进行了验证。第三，进行了全国磋商，项目领导对 PLEA 工具提供了反馈。在第一阶段，根据身体素养内容专家的反馈，对 PLEA 工具进行了修改和缩短，从 41 项减少到 29 项指标。在第二阶段，在得分在前 10%的项目中的参与者在 PLAYfun 的上半身物体控制领域的得分明显更高（p = 0.018），并且 PLAYself 的得分明显更高（p = 0.04），而在得分在后 10%的项目中的参与者。在第三阶段，超过 80%的项目领导认为 PLEA 工具是有用的，并且与他们的实践领域相关。完成的 PLEA 工具是一个 20 项环境评估工具，用于评估儿童和青少年编程在四个领域实施身体素养的程度：环境、项目、领导和工作人员以及价值观和目标。应该研究 PLEA 工具在儿童和青年体育、运动、舞蹈和娱乐领域以外的应用和有效性，例如在早期教育项目中。
