Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The idea of this Special Issue is to collect studies that investigate the role of physical activity, exercise training, and sport on physical and mental health in people with or without specific diseases during life, from young adulthood to old age. In particular, exercise with adequate duration, intensity, and frequency for promoting health, which does not require excessive spending of energy for getting to practice it, training facilities operation, or equipment supply, represents sustainable physical activity. This Special Issue focuses on new approaches (e.g., ecological, nutritional), training protocols, and technologies (e.g., virtual exercise and sport, video analysis, etc.) applied to physical training and health-related aspects of sustainable living in specific locations (e.g., natural environment, gym, home, school, hospital, rehabilitation centers) or special situations such as public health emergencies (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic). New challenges are to be addressed by researchers in order to promote health-related aspects of sustainable living through sport and physical training among people with and without disabilities. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect papers concerning the multi-dimensional concept of health-related quality of life, which includes domains associated with physical, mental, emotional, and social functioning.
Authors are invited to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting letters, original research papers, case studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews that contribute new knowledge related to physical exercise and sport science as well as psychology, neuroscience, education, medicine, and clinical practice.
