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. 517 $aPhysical Activity, Wellness and Health 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $ahandgrip strength 610 $aanthropometry 610 $ahandedness 610 $abody composition 610 $aphysical activity 610 $asports practice 610 $abreast cancer 610 $abioimpedance 610 $aadolescent 610 $aadolescent health 610 $aexercise 610 $ahealth surveillance 610 $aKingdom of Saudi Arabia 610 $aNational Fitness Programs 610 $aper capita area 610 $aschool sports facilities 610 $aurban parks 610 $arural sports venues 610 $adepression 610 $amortality 610 $acardiovascular diseases 610 $acardiovascular risk factors 610 $apublic health 610 $aaging 610 $adose-response 610 $acardiorespiratory fitness 610 $aagility test 610 $aexecutive function 610 $astrength 610 $aolder adults 610 $acardiovascular disease 610 $ahealthy ageing 610 $aIngwavuma 610 $aKwaZulu-Natal 610 $amodifiable behaviour 610 $arural 610 $aSouth Africa 610 $amedical diagnostic 610 $adecision tree 610 $alogistic regression 610 $amachine learning 610 $aadolescents 610 $astudents 610 $agoal orientation 610 $aemotional intelligence 610 $aburnout 610 $amultiple sclerosis 610 $aaccelerometer 610 $agender differences 610 $afitness 610 $aforesight 610 $adelphi study 610 $aEurope 610 $ahealthy eating intention 610 $aphysical activity intention 610 $aemotions 610 $aaversive state 610 $areinforcement 610 $asocial support 610 $aself-concept 610 $ahealth utility 610 $aquality of life 610 $arehabilitation 610 $astroke 610 $asleep quality 610 $aperceived stress 610 $amediating effect 610 $aChinese college students 610 $adog walking 610 $ahealth behavior change 610 $astealth health 610 $apet ownership 610 $ahuman-animal interaction 610 $aanimal-assisted intervention 610 $atargeted learning 610 $ayouth athletes 610 $asoccer 610 $ainjury 610 $aoveruse 610 $amaturation 610 $aexercise participation 610 $aphysical self-concept 610 $aself-esteem 610 $amental well-being 610 $amobile phone addiction 610 $aprocrastination 610 $acollege students 610 $aChina 610 $apandemic 610 $acoronavirus 610 $aphysical exercise 610 $ageneral health 610 $abiopsychosocial model of health 610 $alife course perspective 610 $auniversity students 610 $amultivariate analysis 610 $awellbeing 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aZaccagni$b Luciana$4edt$01302220 702 $aGualdi-Russo$b Emanuela$4edt 702 $aZaccagni$b Luciana$4oth 702 $aGualdi-Russo$b Emanuela$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557477403321 996 $aPhysical Activity, Wellness and Health: Challenges, Benefits and Strategies$93026265 997 $aUNINA
