Moreover, PA improves mental health, quality of life, and well-being. Conversely, physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles have negative impacts on individuals, families, and society, as evidenced in particular by the spread of the obesity epidemic. PA has proven to be a low-cost alternative for the treatment and prevention of disease. Therefore, interventions to prevent avoidable diseases by increasing the proportion of physically active people are fundamental. The Special Issue "Physical Activity, Wellness and Health: Challenges, Benefits and Strategies" was collected research articles on anthropometric determinants of health and performance, PA and healthy habits, exercise and diet, exercise and body composition, interventions to promote PA for people of all ages, strategies for the implementation of an active life, and the beneficial effects of exercise on metabolic syndrome. A total of 20 articles were published, falling mainly into the following three areas: anthropometry, health, and sport; health benefits of exercise; population studies and strategies for an active life. All of the studies support strategies to promote PA and reduce sedentary behavior among adolescents, adults and the elderly. There is no doubt that regular exercise is beneficial to health, but the general population should be encouraged to engage in more of it.Physical Activity, Wellness and HealthResearch & information: generalbicsscaccelerometeradolescentadolescent healthadolescentsagility testaginganimal-assisted interventionanthropometryaversive statebioimpedancebiopsychosocial model of healthbody compositionbreast cancerburnoutcardiorespiratory fitnesscardiovascular diseasecardiovascular diseasescardiovascular risk factorsChinaChinese college studentscollege studentscoronavirusdecision treedelphi studydepressiondog walkingdose-responseemotional intelligenceemotionsEuropeexecutive functionexerciseexercise participationfitnessforesightgender differencesgeneral healthgoal orientationhandednesshandgrip strengthhealth behavior changehealth surveillancehealth utilityhealthy ageinghealthy eating intentionhuman-animal interactionIngwavumainjuryKingdom of Saudi ArabiaKwaZulu-Natallife course perspectivelogistic regressionmachine learningmaturationmediating effectmedical diagnosticmental well-beingmobile phone addictionmodifiable behaviourmortalitymultiple sclerosismultivariate analysisn/aNational Fitness Programsolder adultsoverusepandemicper capita areaperceived stresspet ownershipphysical activityphysical activity intentionphysical exercisephysical self-conceptprocrastinationpublic healthquality of liferehabilitationreinforcementruralrural sports venuesschool sports facilitiesself-conceptself-esteemsleep qualitysoccersocial supportSouth Africasports practicestealth healthstrengthstrokestudentstargeted learninguniversity studentsurban parkswellbeingyouth athletesResearch & information: generalZaccagni Lucianaedt1302220Gualdi-Russo EmanuelaedtZaccagni LucianaothGualdi-Russo EmanuelaothBOOK9910557477403321Physical Activity, Wellness and Health: Challenges, Benefits and Strategies3026265UNINA03870nam 22010213a 450 991034667750332120250203235430.09783038979579303897957010.3390/books978-3-03897-957-9(CKB)4920000000094892(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/42905(ScCtBLL)88215c0b-a6ba-4a69-bfe7-52e5a53c07bf(OCoLC)1118522556(oapen)doab42905(EXLCZ)99492000000009489220250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCeramic ConductorsAleksandra Mielewczyk-Gryń, Maria GazdaMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (184 p.)9783038979562 3038979562 This Special Issue of Crystals contains papers focusing on various properties of conducting ceramics. Multiple aspects of both the research and application of this group of materials have been addressed. Conducting ceramics are the wide group of mostly oxide materials which play crucial roles in various technical applications, especially in the context of the harvesting and storage of energy. Without ion-conducting oxides, such as yttria-stabilized zirconia, doped ceria devices such as solid oxide fuel cells would not exist, not to mention the wide group of other ion conductors which can be applied in batteries or even electrolyzers, besides fuel cells. The works published in this Special Issue tackle experimental results as well as general theoretical trends in the field of ceramic conductors, or electroceramics, as it is often referred to.ionic conductivitycation mixingaliovalent substitutionsubstituted barium indatethermal expansionimpregnationCr substitutionchemical expansionball millinglanthanum orthoniobateperovskite oxidesthermogravimetric analysisHebb-Wagner measurementssamarium-doped ceria (SDC)impedance spectroscopyhydrationnanocrystalline ceramicsbinary fluoridesNi-Cr-ferritesolid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)Mössbauerceriacurrent collectormultifoil shapespecific surface area of powderssol-gelmolten salt synthesisWulff shaperelaxation experimentsOstwald ripeningSolid Oxide Fuel Cellselectronic conductivityproton ceramic fuel cellsterbium orthoniobatewater uptakehigh temperature proton conductorsredox cyclemetal foamprotonic conductorsprotonic conductivityproton conductivitystructurethin filmse-beam physical vapor depositionTECmagnetic propertiesCTEcoupled/decoupled ionic transportplatelet morphologybismuth vanadateLa-doped SrTiO3Mielewczyk-Gryń Aleksandra1786985Gazda MariaScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346677503321Ceramic Conductors4319562UNINA
