BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation is calling for submissions to our Collection on Youth sports and fitness. Youth sports participation and fitness plays an important role in maintaining healthy weight and countering physical inactivity. Studies focusing on the impacts of physical activity and sports participation have demonstrated invaluable benefits such as character development (values of sportsmanship, fair play and respect for opponents), development of strong bones and muscles, reduced risk of chronic health conditions, improved mental well-being, encouraging teamwork and cooperation, inclusivity, promoting healthy habits and reducing sedentary behavior.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3- Good health and well-being, SDG 4 - Quality education and SDG 10 - Reduced inequality.
