Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regular physical activity offers many health benefits in children and adolescents, helping to manage some conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and hyperactivity. A higher level of physical fitness has also been associated with higher academic performance in children.
Several studies found a relationship between physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), so it is important to increase the level of physical activity in order to improve HRQOL in youths. HRQOL can be measured by either objective or subjective ways.
Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to document progress in the knowledge of how physical activity practice can improve HRQOL in children and adolescents.
