Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a strong social and academic need to recognize the importance and both the global as well as local consequences of the recent pandemic in terms of physical activity, school physical education, and sport practice, all of which are a great concern for long-term public health. There is a growing body of evidence and literature that exercise is one of the very prospective health-related beneficial factors contributing to the inhibition of epidemic and pathogenic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, aging, cardiovascular disease, and all sorts of mind-related issues and problems in school youth around the world.
This Special Issue seeks original papers on the results of the compulsory quarantine caused by the pandemic and the ways it has influenced physical activity patterns of young people. Novel findings of research studies dealing with the pandemic situation are also welcomed. The idea of the Special Issue is to serve as a platform for solutions and examples of best practice that could help to form some recommendations concerning physical activity levels in difficult times or circumstances and attribute to the development of more advanced and personalized health-related patterns of education that would optimize the prevention of non-communicable diseases and lead to individually healthier lifestyles along the lifespan.
