Abstract
This article discusses the embodied nature of physical literacy with specific attention given to the interconnectedness of embodiment, lived experience, and meaning (assemblage). Through the exploration of these concepts, it is possible to understand how physical literacy is centered on monist, existential, and phenomenological philosophical schools of thought.
