Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, scientific evidence has indicated that the practice of physical activity and sports benefits people in many ways. Both governments and supranational organizations have published recommendations regarding the amount of physical activity that people should engage in to stay healthy. These recommendations were originally aimed at the general population, but in recent decades, they have been targeted toward groups of people with specific characteristics: people with pathologies or people with disabilities.
To establish the significance of these recommendations regarding physical activity, it is necessary to evaluate population groups to establish levels of physical exercise based on scientific evidence.
On the other hand, many middle-aged people want to compete in sports adapted to their physical condition, as well as sports of a recreational nature. To perform physical exercise safely, it is necessary to evaluate and know the physical condition of the person who practices it. Professionals who prescribe physical exercise need tools to be able to assess physical conditions. Papers addressing these topics are invited to be submitted to this Special Issue. Papers that address the evaluation of physical fitness and physical activity in adults, including people with pathologies or people with disabilities, are welcomed.
