- Editorial: Building health through physical activity in schools, volume IIPublication . Branquinho, Luís; Forte, Pedro; Ferraz, Ricardo; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Sortwell, AndrewBuilding health through physical activity in schools remains a global priority, as educational systems face persistent challenges related to declining physical activity levels, increasing sedentary behavior, and growing concerns about physical, psychological, and social health among children and adolescents. Schools represent a uniquely powerful setting to influence lifelong health behaviors, yet effective promotion of physical activity requires evidence that integrates individual, pedagogical, environmental, and structural dimensions. The 19 articles included in “Building Health Through Physical Activity in Schools – Volume II” collectively provide a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective on how physical activity, health, and well-being can be fostered through educational contexts across diverse populations and sociocultural settings.
- Editorial: Harnessing artificial intelligence in sports science: enhancing performance, health, and educationPublication . Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Ferraz, Ricardo; Morgans, Ryland; Branquinho, LuísArtificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force within sports science, enabling unprecedented advances in the understanding, monitoring, and optimization of human performance, health, and learning processes. The increasing availability of high-resolution data derived from wearable technologies, tracking systems, video analysis, and digital learning platforms has necessitated the adoption of advanced analytical frameworks capable of managing complexity, non-linearity, and interindividual variability. Within this context, the present research topic brings together eleven contributions that collectively demonstrate how AI-driven methodologies can enhance performance analysis, support health-oriented decision-making, and foster innovation in sports performance, health, and education.
- 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).
- Editorial: Training load in sport: current challenges and future perspectives, volume IIPublication . Branquinho, Luís; França, Elias de; Forte, Pedro; Teixeira, José E.; Ferraz, Ricardo; Thomatieli-Santos, Ronaldo VagnerMonitoring and manipulating training load remain a central concern in sports science. The 14 articles in Volume II of the Training Load in Sport: Current Challenges and Future Perspectives Research Topic cover a broad spectrum of sports and methodological approaches. They collectively underscore that training load is not a one-size-fits-all constructs; instead, it must be tailored to the athlete’s sport, competitive level and physiological/psychological profile. This editorial synthesizes the key findings, re&ects on emerging themes and outlines directions for future research.
- 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]
