Outcome requirementsHealth by StealthAn exercise concept that provides opportunities in such a manner that they are not necessarily perceived as exercise. Such an approach is aimed at re-positioning sport and physically activity away from the wide-spread and often negative perception that it is only for ‘sporty people’. Multi-abilityThe ‘Leap 2 life’ Centre must be able to support a broader ‘multi-ability’ approach to the delivery of physical activity by focusing on developing the whole person. The multi-ability outcomes required are:-?Physical – which refers to an individuals fundamental movement skills and their ability to combine and transfer skills effectively in a range of activities and sporting environments.?Creative – which refers to an individual ability to explore, express themselves, use their imagination and develop their own idea and solutions.?Personal – which refers to an individuals attitude and approach to learning and how comfortable, confident and motivated they are.?Cognitive – which refers to an individual’s ability to order and understand problem solve, apply skills and make appropriate decisions.?Social – which refers to an individual ability to work well, communicate and learn with others.PortabilityThe make-up of the equipment package must allow for both fixed on-site usage and portable off-site usage, although it is recognised that not all items will be portable within the centre and wider community.
