Celebrating a Breakthrough in Physical Literacy: A New Paper by Johannes Carl and Colleagues

We are excited to announce the publication of a groundbreaking new paper by Johannes Carl, Johannes Jaunig, Leonie Schnith, Jochen Mayer, Justen O’Connor, and Lisa Young titled “Mapping the ‘Lifelong Journey’ of Physical Literacy: A Biographical Assessment Method for the Physical Activity and Health Context.” This paper introduces the Biographical PL Mapping (BMAP-PL) method, a flexible tool that explores individuals’ unique journeys of physical literacy through life. By capturing personal experiences and transitions, BMAP-PL offers both qualitative and quantitative insights, opening new pathways for understanding, intervention, and personal development in health and physical activity.
