I am preparing a special issue entitled "Prevalence of overweight and obesity in physically active children, and health-related physical fitness" for Current Pediatric Reviews (indexed in pubmed and scopus). I will be happy if anyone wish to contribute as an author (only review papers will be considered) or reviewer (submission deadline: 31/1/2015).
Briefly, the aims and scope of the special issue: The aim of the proposed special issue is to present the latest advances in research concerning the prevalence of overweight and obesity in physically active children, and the impact on health-related physical fitness. Although regular participation in exercise and sport activities has been suggested as a mean to decrease the risk for overweight and obesity, recent findings have shown that (a) the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children engaged in sport activities (e.g. soccer players) might be similar as in general population, and (b) there is a negative effect of body mass index on health-related physical fitness components (e.g. aerobic capacity, muscle strength and power). Thus, we invite researchers to submit reviews in topics that include, but are not limited to:
- Prevalence of overweight and obesity in physically active children (e.g. athletes).
- Comparison between groups with different physical activity levels with regards to obesity markers such as body mass index and body fat.
- Relationship between body mass index and body fat in groups differing for sex, age, maturation and physical activity.
- Relationship among body mass index, body fat and health-related physical fitness components.

I and my colleagues in the Department of Biostructure publish and do research of physical activity and physical fitness or body composition of the children and adults. My PhD dissertation topic was: My dissertation topic was: activity and physical fitness of rural children in terms of composition and proportions of the body. Invite you to contact: [email protected]
I am from Vietnam. I Have doing the intervention study for school children which colaborate to Japan, the study have been done for 9 months/2years. I have collected data of 1st survey and some relating intervention activities. I would like to know whether I could submit paper of 1st survey? the data will including lipid profile.
There no focus on obesity and BMI in active children, but the problem of the modern world is, availability of unhealthy foods close to children. Though children are active, they are putting in a lot of fats in the body than they are burning. We need to study nutritional environment of the children and modify these environments to commensurate healthy eating physical activity.
