Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The introduction of 24-hour movement behaviour guidelines for children and adolescents has guided a shift in the study of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep. This has resulted in the growth of research into achieving 24-hour movement behaviour guidelines, as well as the associations between 24-hour movement behaviours in combinations or compositions and various health and wellbeing outcomes.
To reflect this growth in research, the aim of this Special Issue in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is to showcase the novel research being conducted in this field. Researchers are invited to submit work to be considered for publication that focuses on movement behaviours, health, and wellbeing in children and young people. Areas could include (although not limited to) movement behaviours considered collectively, in combination, or compositions, and links with any physical (physiological), psychological, social, cognitive, and/or mental health and wellbeing outcome in children and/or adolescents (young people). We will adopt the expanded and more inclusive definition of adolescence, corresponding to 10–24 years old. Studies on special populations/groups of children and adolescents will also be considered.
Submissions could include original research articles, short communications/reports/commentaries, review articles (systematic reviews or meta-analyses), or conference papers. There are no restrictions regarding study designs and methodologies. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, so please do contact the Guest Editors to discuss papers on other areas of interest that may still fit the scope of this Special Issue.
