I aimed to collect research that investigates the role of physical activity and sport on physical and mental well-being, with a particular focus on practical implications, innovation, tools, and technique. This Special Issue, "Health Promotion in Children and Adolescents through Sport and Physical Activities" addresses pediatric exercise science as a key scientific discipline able to help future generations live longer and better. It is already clear that sedentariness and a low level of muscular strength and power significantly affects cognitive functions and daily relations, but it is interesting to understand the key determinants and how we can help practitioners better manage these concerns in their patients. Authors were invited to submit letters, original research papers, case studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews.Medicinebicsscphysical educationanaerobic alacticmotor competenceyouthlocomotorexercise behaviorevaluationassessmentchildrenmoderate-to-vigorous physical activitychildren growth and maturationobject controlhealth behaviorsobesityscreen-timeactualadolescentschild motor developmentage groupsmotor activitylife expectancyperceivedconditioninganthropometric measurespreschooladultsexercisestudentselite soccerintervention studyphysical fitnessdietexercise motivationhealthphysical activityperformancemortalitycancerbehaviourssportMVPAschool healthMedicineBianco Antonino1279865ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346691603321Health Promotion in Children and Adolescents through Sport and Physical Activities3016062UNINA
