Globally, physical inactivity is on the rise in most countries, and according to the WHO, it is considered one of the leading major public health risks. As children’s physical activity behaviors are conveyed into adulthood, many interventions focus on establishing healthy physical activity habits in children to prevent the potential negative health outcomes associated with low physical activity over the life course. The school environment provides an opportunity to reach the majority of children, however, physical activity promotion in schools can often be a challenge. Barriers to the success of physical activity interventions include the physical, social and economic environment, competencies, and workload of teachers, as well as the perception that physical activity may interfere with the primary task of schools, which is education. Moreover, the evaluation of physical activity interventions for children is challenging, raising a discussion on how to best evaluate these interventions.

La adaptación es un tema central de muchas perspectivas contemporáneas sobre el desarrollo del niño y el adolescente. Estas perspectivas, que incluyen la ecología humana y los sistemas de desarrollo por nombrar sólo dos, destacan los procesos en curso por los que los jóvenes se sincronizan con los contextos y entornos en los que viven. Tales enfoques están bien representados en las páginas de Psicología del Desarrollo. Sin embargo, la investigación sobre otra forma importante de adaptación ha estado mucho menos representada en la revista: los mecanismos de adaptación condicional. El funcionamiento de esos mecanismos refleja la forma en que la selección natural ha configurado el ...
