The research objective was to analyze components of the physical domain of physical literacy and its relationship with enjoyment in physical education classes among 5th to 6th-grade students. Material and Method: This study employed a non-experimental descriptive-correlational design. The sample consisted of 70 students from fifth (n=32) and sixth (n=38) grade. Data collection instruments included questionnaires for enjoyment and perceived motor competence. Additionally, physical fitness was assessed using horizontal jump, abdominal tests, and a 1-mile run test. Anthropometric data including weight and height were recorded for body mass index calculation. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Pearson's bivariate correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Finally, a linear regression model was applied to explain the relationship between enjoyment and the other variables. Results: The results demonstrate a significant correlation between enjoyment and perceived motor competence and object control (R=0.29 and R=0.34 respectively); between enjoyment and physical fitness in the variables of abdominal tests and the 1-mile run test (R=0.37 and R=-0.31, respectively); and between enjoyment and anthropometry, in the variables of weight and body mass index (both with R=-0.33). Conclusion: The findings suggest that enjoyment is associated with the physical dimension of physical literacy, particularly expressed in perceived motor competence in object control, abdominal tests, the 1-mile run test, and body mass index.
Keywords: Physical Education, BMI, physical fitness, perceived motor competence, physical literacy, enjoyment
