The Carnegie School of Sport are excited to be launching the new Centre for Child and Adolescent Physical Literacy (CAPL).

The Centre for CAPL aims to improve children’s and adolescents’ physical literacy to promote their happiness and health.

This will be achieved through working together with stakeholders across sport, PE and physical activity. We will use our research-practitioner expertise to co-create better experiences and opportunities for all children and adolescents and those who support them.

How we support children’s and adolescent’s physical literacy

CAPL explores how children and adolescents flourish ‘In’ and ‘Through’ their physical literacy journey, whilst providing support for those who support this journey. Below is a summary of our work in these areas, linking to our projects that demonstrate our expertise in these areas:

Our work in this area supports children and adolescents ‘In’ their movement and physical activity by developing and evaluating interventions to improve these competences.

Children and adolescents develop a broad set of attributes ‘through’ their physical literacy journey, such as confidence and motivation. Our work in this area explores the use of movement and physical activity in developing some of these broader attributes.

We also support a range of people who support children and adolescents through their physical literacy journey. We do this by providing professional development, curriculum design and policy support.
