Movement Behaviors (Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity), Sports and Health
This special issue belongs to the section “Sport and Health“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Strong evidence has shown that physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep have important health effects across the lifespan. As such, interest has arisen on how the various (non)movement behaviors make up the whole day and affect health- and cognitive-related outcomes. Complying with the recommended levels of PA, SB, and sleep, together with sports participation from a young age, may be a strong foundation for healthier societies, through better life quality, solider motor and cognitive courses, together with wiser, better, and more conscious life choices.
This Special Issue on “Movement Behaviors (Sleep, Sedentary Behavior, and Physical Activity), Sports, and Health” presents an opportunity to push forward scientific knowledge, addressing research gaps and framing future research questions, to improve our knowledge on the health- and cognitive-related effects of 24 h movement behaviors.
Papers addressing the effects of coronavirus (COVID-19) on sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity levels, reporting trends, describing the effects of public health policies related to 24 h movement behaviors, or exploring their self-reported assessments are also welcomed.
Dr. Eduarda Sousa-Sá
