Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maintaining an active lifestyle is integral to enhancing both physical and mental health. Central to successful exercise regimes are self-control and motivation, which are vital for consistent progress. This Special Issue aims to explore the profound impact of these psychological factors on exercise and overall health outcomes. We invite original research and comprehensive reviews that assess the effects of self-control and motivation on exercise, and their influence on combined mental and physical health improvements. We seek to deepen our understanding of how these factors contribute to health and wellbeing and identify strategies to enhance them.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the impact of self-control and motivation on health and wellbeing.
- Empirical studies (quantitative or qualitative) assessing the direct effects of motivation and self-control on physical and mental health.
- Research exploring the relationship between self-control, motivation, and health enhancements over time.
- Investigations into methods for fostering and maintaining motivation and self-control, including behavioral interventions or technological innovations.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Aimen Khacharem
Guest Editor
