Special Issue on Physical Activity, Health Promotion, and Educational Development

Physical Activity, Health Promotion, and Educational Development explores the role of movement and exercise in enhancing individual and community health, while also supporting lifelong learning and personal development. It integrates principles from kinesiology, public health, and education to promote healthy lifestyles, prevent disease, and foster physical, mental, and social well-being. This area also emphasizes the importance of incorporating physical activity into educational settings to improve cognitive function, academic performance, and overall student engagement.
