Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical and sports education is a subject aimed at transforming students' potential and available resources to help them act and progress efficiently and effectively in society. In secondary schools, mainly during the first cycle of observations, adolescents aged 10 to 13 years improve and integrate movements and gestures acquired in primary school while adapting them to the new organic and muscle strength requirements. Physical and sport education enables students to master their motor behaviours. Concerning this topic, it is possible to carry out research on:
- The impact of physical and sport education on academic achievement and cognitive performance among undergraduate sports students.
- The effects of collaborating technology with physical and sport education among athletes: an outlook of teaching methods.
- Policy changes in physical and sport education in primary and secondary schools: challenges and implications.
- Investigating the role of physical education curriculum in the effectiveness of physical fitness teaching in schools.
- Effects of aerobic capacity, muscular endurance and body mass index on the learning abilities of young students.
- Role of inclusive teaching in physical education and health of children in preschool and primary school.
- Physical fitness and self-perception in adolescents: a public health perspective.
- Gap analysis between physical and sport education reforms and student achievement: towards the development of a teaching and educational model.
- Prison education: Evaluating the quality of sporting facilities.
- Crossing the boundaries of physical and sport education with interactive methods for enhancing communication skills among 4th- and 5th-grade students.
Health promotion can be understood in different ways in relation to physical activity, and this Special Issue aims to explore this relation in-depth. The objective of this Special Issue is to better understand how the physical performance can act (through interventions, events, initiatives, policies) as a health-promoting setting. The Special Issue focuses on research such as:
- Health promotion through physical and sport activity (for health, for development, for social change, using physical and sport activity as a tool for health promoting outcomes or sustainable development goals);
- Health promotion in physical and sport (health promotion initiatives/interventions/events performed, i.e., using sports as an arena for health promotion programs);
- Health promotion in relation to emerging concepts within the field such as physical literacy, health genesis, social capital or other perspectives that could broaden our understanding of health promotion throughout physical and sport activity.
