Abstract
Physical literacy (PL) is the foundation for lifelong participation in physical activity. Most previous research concentrated on PL examinations in younger groups, while such research is scarce in the adult population. This study aimed to determine the PL levels of the Croatian adult population. Also, the aim was to investigate whether individuals with longer participation in organized physical activity have higher PL levels and do males and females differ in PL levels. The sample comprised 561 individuals (321 females, 240 males) aged 27.65±12.13 years. PL levels were assessed by the Croatian version of the Perceived Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPLQ-Cro). Demographic characteristics included age, gender, and years of involvement in organized physical activity. Gender differences were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test and effect sizes. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to determine associations between study variables. Males had significantly higher PL levels compared to females (83.10±16.17 for males and 74.27±20.07 for females, Z=-6.88, p=0.001). Years of organized physical activity were associated with PL levels (R=0.48, p=0.001) in the total sample as well in males (R=0.55, p<0.001) and females (R=0.24, p<0.01) separately. The finding that years of organized physical activity are associated with total PL supports the theory that PL is the cornerstone for participating in lifetime physical activity. The results of this study emphasize the importance of introducing the concept of PL in numerous institutions and organizations connected with organized physical activity.
Abstract (croatian)
Većina prijašnjih istraživanja bila je usmjerena na ispitivanje tjelesne pismenosti (TP) u mlađim skupinama, dok je takvih istraživanja malo u odrasloj populaciji. No, ova je populacija jednako važna jer TP oblikuje cjeloživotne navike sudjelovanja u tjelesnoj aktivnosti. Ovo istraživanje imalo je za cilj utvrditi razine TP kod odrasle hrvatske populacije. Također, cilj je bio istražiti imaju li osobe koje se duže bave organiziranim sportom višu razinu TP te razlikuju li se muškarci i žene u razini TP. Uzorak se sastojao od 561 osobe (321 žena, 240 muškaraca) u dobi od27,65±12,13 godina. Razine TP procijenjene su hrvatskom verzijom Upitnika percipirane tjelesne aktivnosti (PPLQ-Cro). Demografske karakteristike uključivale su dob, spol i godine bavljenja organiziranom tjelesnom aktivnošću. Spolne razlike izračunate su pomoću Mann-Whitney U testa i veličine učinaka. Spearmanovi korelacijski koeficijenti korišteni su za određivanje povezanosti između varijabli studije. Muškarci su imali značajno više razine TP u odnosu na žene (83,10±16,17 za muškarce I 74,27±20,07 za žene, Z=-6,88, p=0,001). Godine organizirane tjelesne aktivnosti povezane su s razinama TP(R=0,40, p=0,001). Nalaz da su godine organizirane tjelesne aktivnosti povezane s ukupnom TP podupire teoriju da je TP kamen temeljac za sudjelovanje u cjeloživotnoj tjelesnoj aktivnosti. Rezultati ovog istraživanja naglašavaju važnost uvođenja koncepta PL u brojne institucije i organizacije povezane s organiziranom tjelesnom aktivnošću.
