Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, health promotion has become particularly relevant for all age groups. As a result, the fitness and physical activity industry has increased its offerings, providing more services. However, some of these trends do not have a solid scientific basis to support them, so this special issue aims to bring together knowledge about these ways of promoting physical activity in different populations.
We are pleased to invite you to provide scientific evidence related to this area of physical activity promotion for health improvement, whatever the study population and methodology implemented. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We also encourage you to submit your articles on the validation of questionnaires and other instruments related to the field of study.
Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Cross-sectional, longitudinal and review studies using physical activity as a means of health promotion.
- Technological innovations in physical activity and health promotion.
- Tailored physical activity models for specific populations
- Community-based interventions for the promotion of physical activity
- Future perspectives on movement-based health
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
