Editorial: Building health through physical activity in schools, volume II
| Resumo: | Building health through physical activity in schools remains a global priority, as educational systems face persistent challenges related to declining physical activity levels, increasing sedentary behavior, and growing concerns about physical, psychological, and social health among children and adolescents. Schools represent a uniquely powerful setting to influence lifelong health behaviors, yet effective promotion of physical activity requires evidence that integrates individual, pedagogical, environmental, and structural dimensions. The 19 articles included in “Building Health Through Physical Activity in Schools – Volume II” collectively provide a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective on how physical activity, health, and well-being can be fostered through educational contexts across diverse populations and sociocultural settings. |
