Physical Literacy Movement Preparation is an enhanced training program performed as a warmup before practices and games to enhance performance and durability. Movement preparation not only prepares the body for movement, it also improves the way you move, reducing the risk of injury during physical activity, and teaches skills necessary for performance that are often neglected during regular training. 

Participants complete two eLearning modules in preparation for a mentor-lead, practical, in-person, peer-teaching session supported by instructional materials. This training will better prepare the participant to assist in the development of better movement skills in their participants through a developing physical literacy approach. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify and demonstrate proficient movement patterns while performing a movement preparation sequence. 

• Describe the relationship between the movement preparation component of a training session and enhance musculoskeletal strength. 

• Participants prepare their muscles for immediate activity and develop the skills and confidence to safely participate in unfamiliar activities.
