Research on physical literacy continues to strengthen the case for confidence as a predictor of participation. Studies show that individuals who feel competent and capable are more likely to meet movement guidelines, reinforcing the role of confidence-building experiences in long-term engagement.

For fitness professionals, this reinforces that coaching cues, regressions, and early wins matter as much as programming variables. Confidence built early often determines whether a client continues or quietly drops out.

Why it matters: Confidence-building coaching directly influences adherence, referrals, and long-term client satisfaction.
