Abstract

Physical activity has long been recognized as an important contributor to physical and psychological development among children and adolescents, particularly within educational settings (). In recent years, increasing scholarly attention has shifted toward the concept of physical literacy, which extends beyond physical competence to encompass motivation, confidence, knowledge, and engagement in lifelong physical activity (–). As a multidimensional construct, physical literacy has been increasingly linked to a range of developmental outcomes among youth, including health promotion, physical activity participation, movement competence, and psychosocial development (–). In this study, student well-being is used in a broad interpretive sense to refer to psychological, social, and educational dimensions appearing in the physical literacy literature, including mental health, motivation, self-concept, engagement, and social functioning. It was not used as a direct search filter, but was considered as an emergent theme when interpreting keyword, cluster, timeline, and burst analyses. Alongside this growing interest, the promotion of positive developmental and well-being-related outcomes through physical activity has become an important concern in both educational research and policy discourse. School environments provide structured and socially embedded contexts in which physical literacy can be developed and expressed, making them particularly relevant for understanding how physical activity contributes to broader developmental processes (, ). Emerging evidence suggests that physical literacy is associated not only with physical health indicators but also with psychosocial outcomes such as emotional well-being, interpersonal skills, and adaptive functioning in academic settings (, ). Consistent with this perspective, a meta-analysis reported that physical activity-based interventions exert significant positive effects on children's and adolescents' physical self-concept, which may further enhance global self-worth ().
