Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The promotion of physical activity in children and adolescents has been crucial in recent decades, as it has shown beneficial effects on their health (body composition, physical fitness, or psychological state). Despite the available scientific evidence, few studies are based on the promotion of physical activity in the educational environment, which is the place where children and adolescents spend most of their time. For this reason, this Special Issue aims to collect cross-sectional and longitudinal scientific articles, as well as systematic reviews, showing how the promotion of physical activity in school settings can have a relevant impact on adolescent health. Some examples could be active recesses, the promotion of out-of-school physical activity, or awareness talks on healthy habits and how they impact health.
