The section titled “Physical Education” of the journal Current Social Sciences aims to publish original research articles, letters, reviews/mini-reviews and guest-edited thematic issues on various topics related to the sciences of physical activity and sports. Scientifically based works of a quantitative, qualitative and mixed nature that help to delve into the various dimensions of physical activity and sports sciences, such as education, health, management, training, history, global sporting events, social theory of exercise, sport, physical culture, (physically active) body, and body image, encourage to stimulate further research, critical thinking, and theory development on topics ranging from global professional sport, coaching, commercial exercise/fitness, and physical activity to education and recreation.
This section is not limited to a specific aspect of the field but is devoted to a wide range of sub- fields. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.
