healthy lifestyle - Science topic

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the host, the Physical Activity and Sports Tech for Healthy Lifestyles, the i4EUFITMOS and USSI project team from Faculty for Sport and Physical Education at University of Montenegro and the Conference Organizing Committee, I would like to welcome you to the 4-day interdisciplinary PASTECHL scientific conference to be held in Podgorica, Montenegro, 16th – 19th October 2025. It is planned to be hosted by the Physical Activity and Sports Tech for Healthy Lifestyles, in cooperation with the i4EUFITMOS and USSI project team from Faculty for Sport and Physical Education, University of Montenegro and Western Balkan Sport Innovation Lab, as well as the patronage of the partners who share our vision.

We do believe that we will create an exciting program with “Shaping the Future of Sports & Health Monitoring Systems” as main theme. The program will consist of keynote speeches, workshops, parallel oral and poster sessions, but we will make sure there will be enough time to catch-up with familiar and unfamiliar colleagues, explore some collaboration options and create new academic networks, which is the main purpose of this kind of the industry oriented and scientific events.

We will make sure the topics will offer the target audience a forum for the latest research and both theoretical and applied insight into the field of sports, exercise and health, so this newly developed scientific conference, which had to be held in hybrid format, might bring together national and international physicians, scientists, therapists, trainers and many other interested parties from the fields of sports, exercise and health.

We hope to see you in Podgorica, October 16-19!

Prof. Dr. Stevo Popović, Conference President

Title: Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours and Mental Health in Children and Adolescents

Journal: International Journal of Mental Health Promotion (SSCI)

Submission Deadline: 01 March 2025

Any early stage before adulthood is key for the acquisition of behaviours that are likely to endure into adulthood. It is therefore not surprising that engagement in healthy eating, an active lifestyle, and spending fewer hours in front of the screen are some of the most important habits to be acquired by children for them to develop into healthy adults. Healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle have been demonstrated to have a positive influence on preventing chronic diseases and improving mental health in children and adolescents. On the other hand, the academic world has been scandalized due to the general decline in PISA scores. Academics claim that the increase in hours spent in front of screens and the use of social networks has negatively affected the physical, mental, and cognitive health of children and adolescents. Social networks offer images and messages that promote the thinness ideal in women and the muscularity ideal in men, which has caused this population to worry about their bodies conforming to these idealized and unrealistic physical standards. Consequently, this has led to the inspiration to physical activity engagement and follow diets with a motivation oriented to appearance (rather than health), triggering emotional problems (i.e., body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and high body shame), cognitive problems (i.e., high body vigilance) and behavioural problems (i.e., unhealthy eating behaviours or eating disorders).

Thus, the goal of this Special Issue in the International Journal of Mental Health Promotion is to increase scientific evidence in the study of healthy lifestyle behaviours and mental health in children and adolescents. We welcome reviews and original research which consider novel approaches and identify gaps in knowledge. We also encourage submissions that explore how following healthy habits can impact physical and mental health during these stages.

It came realization that, most rural communities face environmental factors that affect their healthy lifestyle. An unhealthy environment can cause a lot of health implications or problems that may cause a pandemic or disease outbreaks. How do we encourage communities and households to keep their surroundings healthy to help promote a healthy lifestyle or prevent health implications.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, managing stress, avoiding harmful substances, and maintaining overall health can help support male fertility.

About healthy lifestyle's

I have suffered of Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) for more than 20 years, and it has caused many other diseases. Fortunately, I am a surgeon, a sportman, an optimist and a practitioner of positive psychology. After seeking hopeless medical help, I, instead of complaining, think when the Heaven is about to grant a man great responsibility, he would first put his flesh and bone to test. I overcame all the difficulties and fought against the disease. As I work, I took advantage of scientific knowledge for self-treatment and rehabilitation. I already had a solid foundation in cycling, running and swimming. With the help of many people, I signed up for the triathlon competition.

I have taken foreign visiting students of taizhou hospital to enjoy swiming here, for fun and also cultural exchanges. In spite of language barriers and different national conditions, we all love sports, understand sports language, and pursue the goal of health, stability, peace and friendship.

How can we improve our immunity and increase our ability to resist diseases under in the pandemic era? In my opinion, first of all, we should learn positive psychology, maintain a healthy lifestyle, cultivate an optimistic and positive spirit, and live a simple life. We may take reasonable meals, enjoy fresh food, regular living and adequate sleep, and breathe the fresh air of nature. At the same time, proper outdoor sports are needed, such as biking, running and climbing. If conditions allow, we may learn to swim, especially all-season outdoor swimming, making it as important as dining and sleeping.

For my PhD project I want to conduct a mixed qualitative/quantitative study where lifestyle, positive health and the needs from (ex-)patients are evaluated. In addition, I also wish to collect the side of the health professional. Are there validated questionnaires that I can use?

Many thanks in advance for your time and help!

I am currently writing my BA thesis and looking for some scientific sources about target group segmentation. Especially, Sinus Milieus, lifestlye orientated segmentation as well as so-called trend groups such as "LOHAS", "DINKs" and "Best Agers".

I am very thankful for any literature recommendations.

Thank you in advance.

Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis that is the most widely used measurement tool to describe disease progression in patients with MS.

Recently, I was in a workshop concerning sports nutrition, the person delivering the information stated that there is no proof that detox diet exists and is effective, her statement blew my mind, as she claimed that a body is able to detoxify its self naturally!, I was definitely against her statement, because if it was true then why there is a huge amount of cancer diagnosed patients, due to the chemicals or wrong diets or many other causes related to foods and medication, many studies have shown that customized detox diet plans are really effective, and in my clinic personally I have followed customized detox diet plans and the blood tests showed amazing improvements on all aspects, I need the aid in my statement and thoughts against her, any study, medical proof or so would be so helpful.

I need to obtain ready questionnaireabout the impact of COVID 19 on healthy lifestyle
