An introduction to the Special Issue on “Sports Science: Evolutionary Perspectives and Biological Mechanisms”

Davidé Ponzi

Abstract: The goal of the special issue on “Sports science: evolutionary perspectives and biological mechanisms” was to build a bridge to help the development of a coherent and unifying approach to the study of sport science within an evolutionary framework. By focusing specifically on the biological and psychological dynamics of sport performance and competition, we asked if sports can be used to study the evolution of human behavior, biology and psychology. Likewise, we asked whether this evolutionary approach could i… Show more

The introduction substantiates the relevance of the issue of independent health protection of university students by means of physical culture. The study notes the need to address the questions of how to build and develop independence and what it consists of in different stages of existence and development of the student as a person, partner, and professional. Materials and methods. The study aims to conduct an integrative analysis of studies on the independence of health protection as an indicator of physical culture of university students. Independence of health saving is considered as an index of high development, effectiveness, awareness of the physical culture of university students, their free and responsible behavior and attitude to the development and implementation of an individual health saving trajectory, including an individualized physical activity. Results of the research. The state of the research and problems of building and developing health protection independence as a criterion of physical culture of university students in modern pedagogical science and practice have been studied. The results of studies on the health protection independence as an integrative indicator of physical culture of university students have been summarized and the conclusion about the importance of using the independence of health protection as a criterion for assessing the extent to which physical culture is developed has been made. Conclusions: Prospects for and directions of the development of independence of health saving as an indicator of physical culture of university students are highlighted.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the use of social network analysis in biobehavioral research. Despite the well-established importance of social relationships in influencing human behavior and health, little is known about how children's perception of their immediate social relationships correlates with biological parameters of stress. In this study we explore the association between two measures of children's personal social networks, perceived network size and perceived network density, with two biomarkers of stress, cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase. Forty children (mean age = 8.30, min age = 5, and max age = 12) were interviewed to collect information about their friendships and three samples of saliva were collected. Our results show that children characterized by a lower pre-interview cortisol concentration and a lower salivary alpha-amylase reactivity to the interview reported the highest density of friendships. We discuss this result in light of the multisystem approach to the study of children's behavioral outcomes, emphasizing that future work of this kind is needed in order to understand the cognitive and biological mechanisms underlying children's and adolescents' social perceptual biases.
