Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, it seems to be widely accepted in society that regular physical activity is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle and that this should be encouraged from an early age. Therefore, the enhancement of the teaching process in physical education classes plays a fundamental role in stopping the signs of a decrease in the level of motor skill and an increase in pathologies as a consequence of the decrease in the level of physical activity in young populations verified over the last few decades. Younger populations must grow based on sustained development that allows them to reach their full physical and cognitive potential. Therefore, structured intervention programs during physical education classes can be a good strategy for optimizing general motor development, health and for promoting healthy lifestyles and habits. Authors are invited to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting reviews and descriptive or experimental studies of high quality, focusing on physical education intervention programs in school environments with assumed pedagogical innovation and potential benefits for health. Studies on trends and comparisons between school-based physical education programs that report using different variables (e.g., physical, physiological, motor development, skill development, motivation, and interpersonal relationships) are highly recommended. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Physical education: didactic and methodological dimensions of teaching;
- Motor learning: trends and perspectives;
- Concepts, theories, and models of motor development;
- Learning theories and pedagogical development models;
- Analysis and development of strategies to encourage the practice of physical activity;
- Biopsychosocial factors of behavior and physical exercise;
- Physical growth: description and evaluation;
- Implications of physical education on cognitive and affective-social development;
- Cardiovascular and musculoskeletal adaptations to physical exercise.
