Abstract:
Present paper examines the Impact of Fundamental Motor Skills in Physical Literacy Level of Sri
Lankan Children at school grades 4-6. Physical Literacy involves the fundamental motor skills
as well as sports skills. Pre-test post-test experimental design was used as the research design.
One hundred (n=100) subjects were taken from Karawita Central College, Rathnapura by using
random sampling method. Data were gathered by cognitive, psychomotor, affective tests and by
observation. FMS cycle was used to develop physical literacy level in students within a course of
08 weeks. Paired t-test was used to analyse the data by using MS Office and Minitab 17 software.
In cognitive, psychomotor and affective test results, there were significant differences between
pre-test and post-test (p<0.05). Monitoring of these measures enhances our understanding of
children’s physical literacy and assists with the identification of areas where additional supports
are required.
