Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue delves into the intricate connections between physiological, neurophysiological, and behavioral responses obtained during stressful scenarios, training programs, therapeutic interventions, and illnesses. In an era marked by constant challenges, understanding how the human body and mind react to stimuli is crucial. This research addresses the pressing need to unravel the underlying mechanisms governing these responses. By exploring gaps in existing knowledge, our aim is to emphasize the critical necessity for further investigation and refinement.

Contributions to this issue will illuminate complex pathways linking physiological, neurophysiological, and behavioral responses, offering insights that inform both academia and practical applications. The outcomes are poised to refine interventions, enhance training methodologies, improve therapeutic practices, and deepen our understanding in these topics.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collate original research, review articles, cross-sectional studies or case reports focused on these aspects.

The intricate relationship between physical health and cognitive development has been a focal point of multidisciplinary research, suggesting that motor skill proficiency could influence academic outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between motor control, mobility, stability—measured by the Functional Movement Screen (FMS)—and academic performance among high school students. Conducted with 201 participants from a public high school in Spain, this descriptive non-experimental research divided students into high and low academic performance groups based on their average grade scores, with the median used as the criterion for distinction. The FMS was utilized to assess fundamental motor skills, and academic performance was verified across mathematics, language, science, and physical education subjects. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between the FMS scores and academic achievement (r = 0.691; p < 0.001), indicating that students with higher motor skill proficiency had higher academic achievement. This correlation persisted across the various subjects, highlighting the potential benefits of integrating physical education and motor skill development into educational strategies. The study’s results suggest that educational policies should advocate for comprehensive physical education programs to foster both physical well-being and academic improvement, thereby promoting a holistic educational model that enhances student performance across disciplines.
