Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical activity has multiple benefits for people’s cognitive functions, psychological variables, social skills and health, among others. The latest research and scientific studies reflect the evolution and growing interest in this area. Even so, we must keep researching this topic. The aim of this Special Issue is to disseminate high-quality research related to cognitive and psychological development through physical activity. Authors are invited to submit original research (empirical, quantitative, or qualitative) manuscripts, as well as systematic reviews or meta-analyses. All of them will be welcome, as long as they deepen and expand our understanding of the role of physical activity in relation to cognitive performance, psychological variables, physical, mental and psychosocial health, academic achievement, well-being, inclusive practices and equal opportunities, physical activity level and good habits, social skills, group cohesion, or emotions.
