Abstract

With physical inactivity becoming a worldwide crisis, physical literacy is recognized as a potential gateway for the promotion of physical activity. This study intended to examine the relationship between physical literacy and physical activity and examine whether there exist potential moderators of this relationship. Six databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Web of Science, ERIC, and PsycINFO were searched on April 11th, 2024 for the last time. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted to examine the strength between physical literacy and physical activity, with subgroup analyses and meta-regression analyses applied to examine the potential moderators. A total of 3,932 articles were identified, of which only 26 studies were included after undergoing title, abstract, and full-text screening. There was a positive and moderate correlation (r = 0.369) between physical literacy and physical activity, with physical activity intensity (Q = 11.608, p < 0.05) and the selection of physical activity assessments (Q = 9.523, p < 0.05) serving as moderators in this relationship. As for gender, the selection of physical literacy assessments, mean age, and sample size, their moderating role wasn't significant. Future research regarding physical literacy and physical activity should pay more attention to relevant moderators and conduct more longitudinal studies to explore the dynamic change in their relationship over time.

体育素养与体育活动的关系：系统回顾与元分析

随着缺乏身体活动成为一种全球性危机，身体素养被认为是促进身体活动的潜在途径。本研究旨在探讨身体素质与身体活动之间的关系，并探讨这种关系是否存在潜在的调节因子。2024年4月11日最后一次检索PubMed、ScienceDirect、ProQuest、Web of Science、ERIC、PsycINFO等6个数据库。采用随机效应荟萃分析来检验身体素质与体育活动之间的强度，并采用亚组分析和荟萃回归分析来检验潜在的调节因素。共纳入3932篇文献，其中经过标题、摘要和全文筛选后，仅纳入26篇研究。体育素养与体育活动之间存在正相关和中度相关（r = 0.369），体育活动强度（Q = 11.608, p < 0.05）和体育活动评价选择（Q = 9.523, p < 0.05）在此关系中起调节作用。性别、体质素质评价方式选择、平均年龄、样本量的调节作用不显著。未来关于身体素养与身体活动的研究应更多地关注相关调节因子，并进行更多的纵向研究，以探索它们之间的关系随时间的动态变化。
