We are pleased to announce the launch of a new research topic in Frontiers in Public Health that aligns closely with the themes of PASTECHL Podgorica 2025 Conference.
Titled “Uncovering the Past: Monitoring and Promoting Physical Activity and Fitness Across the Lifespan Using 20th Century Data”, this research topic invites contributions that explore how historical data can be used to understand and improve physical activity and fitness across different populations and time periods.
