• Sommario/riassunto: La question de la dette publique, de son rôle économique ou de son poids excessif, est au cœur des préoccupations contemporaines. Le paradoxe est que les problèmes liés à l’endettement de l’État ont finalement peu mobilisé la réflexion des historiens, hormis pour certaines périodes particulières comme la France de la fin du XVIIIe siècle ou l’Europe d’après la Première Guerre mondiale. Existe-t-il un modèle européen de la dette publique ? Quand le phénomène a-t-il vraiment émergé ? Des sociétés sans dette publique sont-elles possibles ? Quels ont été les états les plus innovants et les plus inventifs en matière d’emprunt ? Les actes de ce colloque international présentent les différentes formes qu’a revêtues la dette publique depuis l’Antiquité, ses rapports avec la construction de l’autorité étatique, le rôle des guerres dans sa formation et ses effets économiques et sociaux. Il n’existe pas une histoire de la dette publique mais plutôt des histoires. C’est ce que confirme l’enquête menée dans des situations variées, dans le temps ­comme dans l’espace, avec des contributions sur la Rome ancienne et le Japon de l’ère Meiji, la Chine des Song et les États-Unis du XIXe siècle, les cités ­grecques et la France du XXe siècle… Cette large fresque permet d’ébaucher une géographie planétaire et une chronologie de la dette publique. Les travaux proposés offrent des clefs pour lire les débats d’aujourd’hui dont la dette publique, directement ou indirectement, est rarement absente. The issue of public debt, its role in the economy and excessive debt ratios lie at the heart of contemporary concerns. The paradox is that, in the final analysis, the problems connected with government debt have not sparked a great deal of interest amongst historians, apart from certain specific periods, such as France at the end of the 18th century or Europe after the First World War. Is there a European model of public debt? When did the phenomenon really emerge? Are societies without public…

• Sommario/riassunto: Increasing global physical activity levels is one of the most important public health goals of the 21st century. Physically active individuals present better sleep patterns, increased wellbeing and quality of life, as well as better physical function and fitness levels. In addition, physical activity might stimulate brain function and improve both cognition and mental health. The risk of many chronic diseases is also reduced in physically active individuals, and physical activity might counteract the detrimental metabolic effects of long sedentary periods. Physical fitness is not only a key marker of health in healthy individuals, but in people with chronic conditions. Compelling evidence indicates that low levels of both cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and premature mortality for a variety of causes, including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Consequently, preserving fitness levels throughout life is a major clinical and public health interest. Exercise interventions represent the most efficient form of physical activity to enhance physical fitness and improve health outcomes at all ages and chronic statuses. However, ; exercise prescription in many populations is underdeveloped and further insights are needed for practitioners and the research community to understand how exercise should be administered, depending on the health and clinical status of different populations. This Special Issue focuses on the influence of fitness and physical activity and the effects of exercise interventions on human health- and disease-related outcomes. This includes, but is not restricted to, the following article types: Observational studies assessing the association of physical fitness (alone or in combination with other risks/protective factors) with health- and disease-related outcomes. Observational studies assessing the association of physical activity (alone or in combination with other lifestyle behaviors) with health- and disease-related outcomes. This includes studies assessing physical activity through either objective or subjective means. Experimental studies assessing the effects of exercise interventions (alone or in combination with other interventions) on health- and disease-related outcomes across the lifespan. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the above-mentioned topics are also welcome.
