Continuous Improvement
The concept of continuous improvement, which permeates LTAD, is drawn from the respected Japanese industrial philosophy known as Kaizen.
Continuous improvement ensures that:
- LTAD responds and reacts to new scientific and sport-specific innovations and observations and is subject to continuous research in all its aspects.
- LTAD, as a continuously evolving vehicle for change, reflects all emerging facets of physical education, sport, and recreation to ensure systematic and logical delivery of programs to all ages.
- LTAD promotes ongoing education and sensitization of federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal governments, the mass media, sport and recreation administrators, coaches, sport scientists, parents, and educators about the interlocking relationship between physical education, school sport, community recreation, life-long physical activity, and high performance sport.
