| Abstract [eng] |
The Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented historical event that has affected all areas of life and changing the lives of people around the world. Therefore, living in the conditions of the "new normality" (Lawrence, 2013) and the "social acceleration" (Rosa & Trejo-Mathys, 2013) encourages a rethinking of the human relations with the world, primarily focusing on the development of conscious and responsible behavior and self-regulation skills. This article focuses on the phenomena of movement and self-regulation for the well-being of society and the development of future thinking competencies. The aim of this work is to reveal the links between the phenomena of physical activity and self-regulation as a precondition for the development of future thinking competencies and sustainable development. Material and methods of research. The argumentative literature review is based on an interdisciplinary approach, the phenomena of physical activity and self-regulation are analysed from the perspectives of social, educational, cognitive sciences and neurosciences. The results of the review show that systematic and planned physical activity is not only a significant measure of a person's physical and mental health, but a sign of health and physical literacy competencies. Conclusions. Health and physical literacy competencies are closely linked to the development of self-regulatory capacity and are manifested in responsible, well-being and sustainable development-oriented behaviour. Conscious physical activity develops a person's ability to self-regulate and plan for their future and can therefore be a meaningful means of shaping future thinking skills. |
