Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Being physically active and adopting healthy lifestyle habits can provide several physical, cognitive, and mental benefits; however, a high percentage of children and adolescents do not reach the daily physical activity recommendations, alongisde being involved in harmful life habits, thus increasing the risk of the development of health problems. This Special Issue, entitled "Physical Activity and Lifestyle Habits in Children and Adolescents: 2nd Edition”, of Children aims to illuminate the current knowledge in research that is relevant to the impacts of physical activity practices and lifestyle habits in children and adolescents. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short papers covering issues related to the impacts of physical activity and/or physical exercise practices, as well as lifestyle habits in the mental health, cognition, academic performance, body composition, physical growth, and biological maturation of young people. Other issues related to the impact of physical activity and lifestyle habits in children and adolescents not listed above may be significant and accepted for publication.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
