2009
Promotion of physical activity at the worksite is part of the global strategies for health promotion. The introduction of physical activity programs at worksites requires an analysis of the current demand in specific contexts. This study analyzes the demand of physical activity among workers at two markets in Madrid: "Maravillas" and "Las Aguilas". It is hypothesized that in both markets latent demand (people that do not practice physical activity but are wishing to do so) prevails over actual demand (people that already practice physical activity) and absent demand (people that do not practice physical activity and do not wish to do so). Results show that this hypothesis is fulfilled at "M…

2019
This Special Issue entitled ”Health Promotion in Children and Adolescents through Sport and Physical Activities” was developed after I received an interesting phone call from Giuseppe Musumeci, a friend and colleague who, in my opinion, is brilliantly driving JFMK to success. Giuseppe motivated me to manage a Special Issue ( SI), and after a short interaction with him and some personal study, I decided to address the topic of this SI to the area mentioned above. Although the title of this SI may seem a bit broad, since the beginning, my intention has been clear: to try to collect more information about the impact that human movement has on the physical and psychological conditions of subjec…

Health information-seeking behavior is the process of gathering information about health and disease and can be influential for health-related perception and behavior.
