This review identified physical literacy assessments for children and adolescents based on a definition of physical literacy that incorporates physical, psychological, social, and cognitive domains.

Assessments with more validity/reliability evidence were the: Canadian Assessment for Physical Literacy version 2, Adolescent Physical Literacy Questionnaire, Passport for Life, Physical Literacy in Children Questionnaire, and Portuguese Physical Literacy Assessment Questionnaire.

Survey-based instruments were the most feasible to administer in schools.

Findings will be useful for researchers and practitioners who wish to assess children’s physical literacy in a school setting and need information on how instruments are classified in terms of current validity, reliability, and feasibility data.
