Development, explanation, and presentation of the Physical Literacy Interventions Reporting Template (PLIRT)
Background The physical literacy (PL) concept integrates different personal (e.g., physical, cognitive, psychological/
affective, social)determinants of physical activity and has received growing attention recently. Although practical
efforts increasingly adopt PL as a guiding concept, latest evidence has shown that PL interventions often lack specification
of important theoretical foundations and basic delivery information. Therefore, the goal of the present study
was to develop an expert-based template that supports researchers and practitioners in planning and reporting PL
interventions.
Methods The development process was informed by Moher etal.’s guidance for the development of research reporting
guidelines. We composed a group of ten distinguished experts on PL. In two face-to-face meetings, the group first
discussed a literature-driven draft of reporting items. In the second stage, the experts anonymously voted and commented
on the items in two rounds (each leading to revisions)until consensus was reached.
Results The panel recommended that stakeholders of PLinitiatives should tightly interlock interventional aspects
with PL theory while ensuring consistency throughout all stages of intervention development. The Physical Literacy
Interventions Reporting Template (PLIRT) encompasses a total of 14 items (two additional items for mixed-method
