The purpose of this study was to investigate physical activity engagement among elderly people framed by early development of physical literacy. A number of ten participants aged between 70 and 80 years of age were recruited to participate in this study. Open-ended interviews were conducted through individual and group interviews. The interviews were specifically designed to collect data about the embodiment and lived experiences of engaging in physical activity in later life as well as during the course of their life. Data were analysed inductively to develop themes in the data. Theoretical analysis of physical literacy was used to discuss the empirical data analysis. The results showed three patterns in the data, including their participation trajectory, engagement as a learning journey and physical activity experiences manifested as the body ages. © 2022, Drustvo Pedagoga Tjelesne i Zdravstvene Kulture.
