Everyone’s health is a valuable life resource. Maintaining good health is critical to achieving the personal life goals that each individual sets for himself. As a result, the factors of health were identified from a young age. Physical activity and exercise stood out among the numerous factors of health from an early age. It was rapidly obvious that those who were the most physically engaged had superior health markers. Susruta (1500 BC), an Indian physician, was the first to recommend daily exercise, and Hippocrates (460–370 BC) was the first to write down an exercise prescription for a patient with consumption. The value of physical health, on the other hand, is recounted in a dialogue between Socrates and Epigenes, one of Socrates' students. When the philosopher noticed his buddy was in bad shape for a young man, he scolded him, saying, "You look like you need exercise, Epigenes." "Well, I'm not an athlete, Socrates," the young guy said. Socrates then gave a response that became known as an anthology [1].

Physical inactivity is the fourth greatest cause of mortality in the United States , since it may lead to chronic conditions such obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and colon and breast cancer . However, in developed nations, a large number of children and adolescents are sedentary found that only 9% of male and 2% of female participants achieve the WHO recommendation of daily 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in a research evaluating accelerometer data from over 27,000 children and adolescents (ages 3–18). Physical activity declines by roughly 4% each year after the age of six in terms of growth throughout childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, sedentary behaviour is on the rise, which is increasingly recognised not only as the antithesis of physical exercise but as having its own harmful impact on health . Physical fitness is a multi-faceted concept and a health biomarker that is strongly linked to physical exercise [2].

Physical exercise and physical fitness have been found to promote academic performance, in addition to their health benefits. This claim is backed up by a substantial amount of evidence. First and foremost, it is critical to emphasise that physical activity has the greatest impact on academic subjects such as mathematics and reading, as well as the fact that basic cognitive functions that aid learning, such as attention and memory, can be improved through physical activity and increased aerobic fitness. Given the importance of monitoring and promoting physical activity and fitness in children, primarily because single sessions of long-term participation in physical activity improve cognitive performance and brain health, and because children who engage in vigorous- or moderate-intensity physical activity reap the greatest benefits.

Contribution to the field

The goal of this research was to compile the most up-to-date information on monitoring and increasing physical activity and fitness in youngsters. Several research published as part of this special edition have pushed the frontiers of our knowledge to such an extent that it is worth noting them and underlining that the entire project was important and made a substantial contribution to science [3]. There were some intriguing conclusions obtained. For starters, an intriguing finding concerning the assessment of physical activity and fitness was that. When reporting the monitoring, surveillance, and evaluation of PA interventions, a new LMS (least-mean-squares) coefficient to compare children's physical fitness levels and LMS curves that are available by year from age 4 to 17 years presented a new LMS (leastmean- squares) coefficient to compare children's physical fitness levels and LMS curves that are available by year from age 4 to 17 years presented a new LMS (least-mean-squares) coefficient to compare Another noteworthy addition is the discovery of increased inequity and polarisation in children's motor development.

Some authors have confirmed that the decline in neuromotor fitness may have significant implications for enjoyment and participation in physical activity, and thus for future health, which can significantly improve the participation of certain populations in daily physical activity, as well as the availability of extracurricular activities. Another essay in this special issue pursues a similar purpose, emphasising the relevance of body image perception, anthropometric values, and physical condition in order to engage in physical activity. Furthermore, it highlights the function of physical self-perception in the development of physical activity as a mediating factor. A recent study confirm the positive impact of physical exercises on endurance performance in kindergarten children, but no other motor ability. Incorporating methods to develop agility and to improve resilience may lead to better outcomes when designing physical fitness programs to prevent or alleviate anxiety in children. Having siblings showed to be advantageous for general physical fitness in children and standing desks provide an opportunity to reduce sedentary time during lessons and breaks at school [4,5]. However, another studies raised several research questions such as if functionalized play can provide the pleasures of children's free play, or school-based physical activity projects such as skipping hearts can have a long-term impact on health and health behavior.

A recent study found that physical workouts improve kindergarten children's endurance but not their other motor abilities. When establishing physical fitness programmes to prevent or treat anxiety in children, using ways to promote agility and improve resilience may lead to better outcomes. Siblings have been shown to benefit children's overall physical health, while standing desks allow students to spend less time sitting during class and recess. Other studies, on the other hand, have prompted various research problems, such as whether functionalized play may deliver the same delights as unstructured play for children, or if school-based physical activity programmes like skipping hearts can have a long-term influence on health and health behaviour.

Conclusion

Physical exercise and fitness are linked to health advantages in children, according to a growing body of evidence. Physical activity and fitness, particularly cardiorespiratory fitness, are linked to improved health-related biomarkers, which may have an impact on grownup health. Sedentary behaviour, on the other hand, is linked to bad health effects. Understanding and developing techniques to encourage physical activity behaviour and increase children's fitness levels are therefore more important than ever. These methods can be developed in a classroom setting or in a variety of other settings. As a result, the goal of this study was to gather high-quality research on the monitoring and promotion of physical activity and physical fitness in children and adolescents, with a focus on novel intervention research in school, community-based, or sports settings to promote children's levels of physical activity and physical fitness, as well as the effects of physical activity on physical fitness in children and adolescents and correlational adolescent research.
