Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the study of interaction between physical activity and health behaviors. Research on the physiology, biochemistry, psychology, and biomechanics of health development is welcome. Physical activity is closely linked with health and well-being, and is also associated with individual behavior. Empirical evidence regarding the prevalence of exercise health behaviors can help individuals develop their bodies and improve their health status. Regular physical activity can help keep people think, learn, and improve judgment and cognitive skills as they age. Physical activity can also help to control weight and minimize obesity-related diseases. Good heath behaviors can convey health benefits and protect individuals from disease. Therefore, more studies such as those presented in this volume are required. This will help us to design interventions for improving health that may change the behaviors and habits of individuals in order to make physical activity and healthy behavior the preferred option for individuals.
