Health Promotion in Children and Adolescents through Sport and Physical Activities—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

After the success of the first edition, I would love to re-open the Special Issue in order to continue to invest in this topic of particular interest. In line with the previous experience, the idea is to collect research that investigates the role of physical activity and sport on physical and mental well-being, with particular focus on practical implications, innovation, tools, and technique development. The Special Issue, “Health Promotion in Children and Adolescents through Sport and Physical Activities—2nd Edition”, addresses paediatric exercise science as a key scientific discipline that is able to help future generations live longer and better. I want to mention the fact that it is already clear that sedentariness and a low level of muscular strength/power significantly affect cognitive functions and daily relations, but it can be of interest to understand what the key determinants are, and how we can help professionals to better manage those concerns in their daily activities. Authors are invited to submit letters, original research papers, case studies, meta-analyses, scoping, and systematic reviews.

Dr. Antonino Bianco
Guest Editor
