Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the increase in sedentary behaviors and physical inactivity has increasingly been a topic of interest to the research community; however, the data have been increasingly less encouraging for the near future. The data show that sedentary behaviors and physical inactivity are increasing, reflected in negative health outcomes and changes in the motor development of our children. It should be our concern to understand and prevent these results by carrying out research with practical applications toward a better future for our children. Therefore, this Special Issue will provide insights into how exercise interventions contribute to children’s health and well-being, counteracting sedentary behaviors and physical inactivity.
Both review and original research articles are encouraged to be submitted to this Special Issue.
We hope that this Special Issue can bring relevant contributions to the field and give us a more comprehensive overview of the beneficial effects of physical activity and exercise interventions in children.
We invite you and your colleagues to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue on physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and exercise interventions in children (impact factor: 2.7).
