Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health, physical activity, and healthy behaviors play a vital role in sustaining the overall wellness of teenagers and young adults. With the growing trend of sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy practices today, educating and motivating young people to lead a healthy life is imperative. Regular physical activity has a profound impact, not only on physical health but also on mental well-being, cognitive growth, and academic achievement. Health promotion initiatives aim to establish favorable surroundings that foster healthy habits, such as consuming a nutritious diet and participating in regular physical activity. The promotion of health and physical activity, as well as policies of encouraging healthy behaviors, can have a positive impact on the health and well-being of teenagers and young adults.
Our Special Issue will examine the current state of health promotion, physical activity, and healthy behaviors among teenagers and young adults, while also seeking to emphasize the challenges and opportunities for enhancement.
