Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The lifestyle is defined as all the behavioral characteristics of a particular person or community. It refers to routinely repeated behavior in daily life. Lifestyle behaviors include a series of habits relevant to health: physical activity, diet, tobacco, alcohol, drug use, etc. The lifestyle is influenced mainly by the creation of a hierarchy of values and needs, but also by tradition, customs and trends. There is growing evidence that health behaviors are grouped. For example, the combination of regular practice of physical activity and healthy eating habits helps maintain and improve health and physical and mental well-being. A good management and promotion of these habits combined increases the quality of life in relation to health.
In addition, there are independent and combined associations between these habits with the quality of life related to health at all age stages. However, current data show unhealthy patterns, which contributes substantially to the global burden of morbidity, mortality and disability. It is necessary to make better proposals through the management, promotion and prevention of healthy habits. Likewise, make important institutional and educational efforts aimed at promoting these habits, thus impacting on a healthier society.
The objective of this special issue is to attract articles that relate the study of the promotion and management of healthy or sporting habits whose result is to create a healthier society. Likewise, we welcome studies of citizens' sports habits, in order to know the degree, type and demands of physical-sports practice of the different sectors of the population, and by extension, the type of sports facilities and spaces in which such sports practices must be carried out.
