Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, we are organizing a Special Issue on ‘Physical Activity and Socioenvironmental Factors in Students’. For detailed information on the journal, we refer you to https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph.
The significance of physical activity for health has contributed to the development of many cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies with children, youth, and young adults. However, little attention has been paid to the fact that, in addition to being young participants, they also share the characteristic of being students. Therefore, this Topical Collection of articles is student-centered and emphasizes the socioenvironmental factors that affect students’ participation in physical activity in and outside educational settings. We are interested in both research and review papers carried out with students from primary, secondary to higher education, and belonging to both vulnerable and nonvulnerable populations. Different methodological and theoretical approaches are also supported.
This Special Issue is open to the topic of ‘Physical Activity and Socioenvironmental Factors in Students’. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.
