Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest reports prepared and published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and by different institutions dedicated to health in infancy and childhood warn of a high percentage of sedentary population in children.
The promotion of a healthy lifestyle from childhood can combat and reduce pathologies associated with sedentary lifestyle. The promotion of physical activity in children and adolescents must be one of the main objectives of all countries.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge of physical activity in children. New research papers and reviews are welcome to this issue.
We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines, including sports sciences, physical education, medicine, physiotherapy, nutrition, psychology, and sociology, among others, as long as their research theme is physical activity in children.
