Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of healthy habits in children and adolescents, such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity, has been shown to positively influence various psychological variables and the learning process. Physical education and an active lifestyle promote better cognition and neurological skills, enabling young people to learn more dynamically and effectively. Furthermore, integrating teaching strategies based on neuroscientific principles can enhance these effects, creating an educational environment that promotes physical health and academic achievement. This approach is complemented by analyzing variables such as educational strategies, teaching methods, student behavior, emotional and psychosocial parameters, and cognitive-academic aspects such as executive functions. Addressing problems such as bullying is essential to creating a safe and learning-friendly school environment. Sleep quality and rest also play a fundamental role in young people's quality of life, as good sleep improves attention, memory, and academic performance. These variables are crucial to understanding and enhancing the learning process, providing a holistic view that encompasses young people's physical health and cognitive and emotional development, thus fostering resilience and overall well-being and preparing students to face future challenges more effectively.
