- Charting the course: navigating the evolving field of research management and administration researchPublication . Santos, José M.R.C.A.; Susi, PoliAs we navigate the increasingly complex landscape of global research and innovation, the role of Research Management and Administration (RMA) professionals has become more critical than ever for enabling research excellence and ensuring the effective delivery of impactful research outcomes. Thus, this role has become not just increasingly visible but also to some extent even acknowledged by leading stakeholders (e.g. policy makers such as the European Commission). RMA professionals are the individuals and teams who, behind the scenes, enable and enhance the entire research lifecycle, from grant applications to impact realization and everything in between, including science diplomacy, science communication, and research strategy development (Agostinho et al., 2020).
- Closing Editorial: New Insights into Food Ingredients for Human Health PromotionPublication . Ribeiro, Andreia; Barreiro, FilomenaIn recent years, the intersection of food science and health promotion has gained interest. Driven by consumer awareness and a global push toward healthier, safer, and more sustainable food systems, the demand for functional, fortified, and clean-label products has grown substantially. In response to these evolving expectations, this Special Issue of Applied Sciences, titled “New Insights into Food Ingredients for Human Health Promotion”, brings together research and review articles that explore the development, characterization, and application of bioactive compounds with the potential to promote human health. These contributions reflect a commitment to innovation in food ingredient science, offering solutions that are both effective and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.

- Editorial: Towards a psychophysiological approach in physical activity, exercise, and sports, volume IVPublication . Forte, Pedro; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Portella, Daniel Leite; Monteiro, DiogoThe Research Topic “Toward a psychophysiological approach in physical activity, exercise, and sports, volume IV” represents a significant stride forward in the integration of psychological and physiological paradigms in sport and exercise science. This editorial aims to synthesize insights from 23 contributions that deepen our understanding of the complex bidirectional interactions between mind and body in the context of physical activity, sports performance, exercise-based health, and wellbeing promotion. A recurring focus across the Research Topic is the impact of physical activity on emotional regulation and wellbeing. Wang S. et al. demonstrated that Tai Chi significantly improved emotional regulation efficacy and subjective wellbeing in older adults, with emotion regulation acting as a partial mediator. Similarly, Jiang et al. identified that academic self-efficacy was enhanced through physical activity, mediated by future orientation and mental toughness. Among youth populations, Zhang et al. found that parenting styles influenced sport adherence via goal orientation and self-regulation. Complementing this, Li and Zhou examined junior high school students, finding that self-esteem and interpersonal relationships jointly mediated the association between physical exercise and school adaptation. This research emphasizes the need for the multifaceted benefits of physical activity in developmental contexts. From a high-performance perspective, Liu et al. showed that elite karate athletes had superior cognitive inhibition skills compared to sub-elite peers, supporting the neural efficiency hypothesis. Ilbak et al. further validated the relevance of psychophysiological monitoring by showing that perceived exertion aligned well with internal training load in combat sports.
- Editorial: Training load in sport: current challenges and future perspectivesPublication . Branquinho, Luís; Forte, Pedro; França, Elias; Ferraz, Ricardo; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Thomatieli-Santos, Ronaldo VagnerTraining load is a critical component of athletic development, serving as a fundamental determinant of performance enhancement and injury prevention (1). Factors such as training intensity, volume, frequency, and density must be carefully managed to promote positive adaptations in athletes (2). The concept of training load is not merely a measure of the amount of work performed, it is a complex interplay of factors that can significantly influence an athlete’s performance trajectory (3). Understanding how to optimize training load is essential to maximizing athletic performance while minimizing the risks of excessive fatigue, injury, and overtraining, which can negatively impact an athlete’s performance and ability to compete and train effectively, as well as overall health (1).
- Feeding and Processing Affect Meat Quality and Sensory EvaluationPublication . Rodrigues, SandraThis special issue brings together studies showing how animal feeding and processing techniques influence meat quality, from nutritional value to texture, flavor, and shelf life. The research demonstrates that natural ingredients, sustainable diets, and innovative technologies can improve the stability, safety, and sensory acceptance of meat products.
- Focus Issue: Woodland Resurgence and Sustainability in Mountains—Patterns, Drivers, and Social-Ecological ConsequencesPublication . Schmidt-Vogt, Dietrich; Azevedo, João C.; Grau, H. Ricardo; Nowreen, Sara; Portner, BrigitteIn recent decades, the resurgence of forests and other woodlands has become apparent in different regions of the world, challenging the perception of deforestation as the dominant land cover change pattern. Woodland resurgence has been particularly pronounced in mountain areas, where conditions limit the scope for agricultural mechanization and rural outmigration has favored land abandonment. In addition, many governmental and nongovernmental initiatives to promote forest management, restore forests, protect biodiversity, and conserve ecosystem services have focused on mountain areas.
- Preface - Redefining the Future of Digital Marketing With Virtual InfluencersPublication . Correia, Ricardo; Venciute, DominykaThe digital marketing landscape is undergoing a seismic transformation, and at the forefront of this evolution are Virtual Influencers (VIs). As editors of Redefining the Future of Digital Marketing With Virtual Influencers, we are excited to present this volume, which explores a dynamic and increasingly influential facet of modern marketing. Virtual Influencers, powered by artificial intelligence, computer generated imagery, and carefully crafted human- like personas, are not only reshaping how brands connect with audiences but are also redefining what it means to be an “influencer” in the digital age.
- Prefácio - Transforming Remote Work and Tourism in the Digital Nomad EraPublication . Correia, Ricardo; Martins, Márcio Ribeiro; Fontes, Ruta;The emergence of digital nomadism and remote work has redefined the global landscape of employment and travel. Once considered a niche lifestyle, remote work has become a mainstream phenomenon, driven by technological advancements and shifting workplace cultures. The COVID- 19 pandemic accelerated this transition, compelling businesses and individuals alike to embrace flexible work arrangements. As a result, the intersection of remote work and tourism has sparked significant transformations in local economies, urban planning, and cultural dynamics. This volume delves into the multifaceted implications of digital nomadism, exploring its impact on workforce mobility, tourism economies, and sustainable development.
- Special Issue “Biomechanical Analysis in Physical Activity and Sports”Publication . Forte, PedroBiomechanics plays a vital role in helping us understand how the human body moves, especially in the context of sports and physical activity. By applying principles from physics and engineering, biomechanical analysis allows us to study the forces acting on the body. This is incredibly valuable not only for enhancing athletic performance but also for health and physical activity-related analysis. Recent technological advances, including motion capture systems, force plates, electromyography (EMG), and computational fluid dynamics, have provided us with powerful tools for measuring and modeling movement with unparalleled precision [1– 3]. These technologies have been adopted across various sports, including running, cycling, and swimming, helping athletes and coaches in enhancing their performance techniques [2, 3 ]. In addition, the emergence of wearable technology and artificial intelligence (AI) has further advanced real-time analysis capabilities. Today, athletes can receive immediate feedback through sensors embedded in their gear, allowing them to adjust their technique on the spot, which also plays a big part in preventing injuries [1]
