Being active for life is central to the paradigm shift advocated by CS4L in sport and recreation. As a consequence, the development and attainment of physical literacy is important for all individuals. What are the challenges inherent in trying to become active for life, how different (if at all) are these challenges if adults are not physically literate? How does this approach influence the day-to-day operations of sport and recreation organizations? These are some of questions panelists will address as they draw our attention to a key component in the CS4L model.
