ABSTRACT
Matched pre-during pandemic comparison (160 children) revealed a substantial reduction in physical activity (p < 0.001, rrb = 0.83), environmental participation (p = 0.046, rrb = 0.16), movement valuation (p < 0.001, rrb = 0.61), and parent perceptions of children's physical literacy (p < 0.001, rrb = 0.56). Examining physical activity trajectories, higher pre-pandemic physical literacy protected children from pandemic related activity decline. Emerging from the pandemic, interventions should address children's eroded belief in movement and consider physical literacy levels of children in individualizing movement opportunities for restoration of activity levels. Novelty A substantial reduction in physical activity was associated with children who had lower physical literacy and resulted in reductions in children's valuation of movement.
