Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main aim of the current Special Issue is to show the different cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention programs that are developed in the context of physical education, and physical activity and sports in children, adolescents, and adults. In this regard, the purpose is to show relevant associations between promoting physical activity in physical education domain and physiological, psychological, cognitive, and affective consequences. Moreover, this Special Issue aims to show different intervention programs in the promotion of physical activity in different contexts (extracurricular context, physical education context, etc.) and ages. New methodological researches and instruments are welcome.
The Special Issue will be situated in the existing literature emphasizing new studies and results with different instrument and designs. In this regard, it is important to note the importance and novelty of the treatment of physical activity and different consequences, such as cognitive achievement, body image, bully behavior, etc., which deal with some interesting topics that are being studied at the moment. Moreover, the study of the environment in physical education context, in order to promote physical activity in and out of schools is of interest for researchers and readers. Finally, sustainability in physical activity for adults is continuously studied, which gives this Special Issue a wide range of interest for investigators from all over the world.
