Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of the Special Issue "Sports Science with Children’s Lifestyle and Physical Fitness"：https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Sports_Fitness.
Early childhood is a time of rapid physical and mental development, during which time a child's lifestyle habits are formed, and changes and adaptations are made to the environment. To maintain and promote the optimal health status of preschool children, it is important to increase physical activity, reduce screen time, and ensure sufficient sleep duration within each 24-h period. There has been increasing interest in obtaining strong evidence supporting the interaction between these movement-related behaviors over 24-h and the effect on health.As an essential human skill, locomotion is the main instrument by which individuals interact with the external environment, and it plays a dual role in ensuring individuals’ survival and development. For children, gross motor skills are the earliest-developed motor skills, and their development is beneficial to their physical health, mental cognition, and social adaptation. motor skills play an important role in preschoolers′ growth, development, and formation of an active lifestyle. Therefore, the study of the promotion of physical activity, Improvement of sleep quality, and reducing sedentary behavior to Improvement of physical fitness has become an emerging trend in the field, as more and more researchers have conducted investigations in this area of inquiry. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Lifestyle and physical fitness
- Lifestyle and fundamental movement skills
- Isotemporal Substitution Analysis and lifestyle
- Physical activity, sleep duration, and screen time
- Body composition, and physical fitness
- 24-hour movement guideline
- Lifestyle and health‑related quality of life in children
- The difference in physical fitness between urban and rural areas.
We want to encourage all investigators who work in this field to submit original research, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses to this Special Issue to broaden our knowledge and open new research directions.
