Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human behavior is one of the most widely studied research areas due to the interest in understanding the behavioral interaction between individuals, environments, and tasks. Specifically, science has sought answers in several knowledge areas such as psycho-science, neuroscience, physiology, biomechanics, and social sciences. Sport science encompasses all these, yet it tends to integrate them to understand learning and motor control, indicators of health and well-being, and sport performance. Therefore, it is important to build bridges between behavioral sciences and sports science in order to understand the interactions of the different factors that mediate human motor and cognitive behavior during physical activity, exercise, and sport. This Special Issue aims to compile the latest news and advances in scientific research in the complementary areas of behavioral sciences and sports science.
