Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The justification for this Special Issue lies in the urgent need to address the escalating pandemic of sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, obesity, and related health conditions in children and adolescents. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these issues, with lockdowns and school closures leading to increased screen time and decreased opportunities for physical activity. This has resulted in a surge in obesity rates and associated health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, the mental health implications of these lifestyle changes are becoming increasingly apparent. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest research on the impact of physical activity on the health of young individuals. It seeks to address the critical issue of sedentary behavior and its associated health risks while promoting the benefits of regular physical activity. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses studies on physical activity interventions, epidemiological research, and innovative strategies to encourage reaching adequate physical activity levels.
