In the past, research involving the relationship between physical activity and health has appeared in various journals, but no single scholarly publication was devoted to that relationship. The Journal of Physical Activity & Health (JPAH) has answered the critical need for a single publication dedicated to research and practice related to physical activity and health.

JPAH publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and all aspects of health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. JPAH also calls for papers that examine behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and population-wide basis. The “Public Health Practice” feature allows practitioners in the field to publish on successes of best practices. The articles represent work from nearly two dozen countries and feature multifaceted international perspectives. Further, the editorial board is composed of several international researchers who are widely recognized for their work.

JPAH is also published in a digital format, providing online subscribers with the same authoritative content of the print edition but with additional advantages, including the ability to search entire issues in seconds and access to back issues. The content of the online version of JPAH is available weeks before the print version arrives by mail, and online subscribers can receive the table of contents of each issue by e-mail when a new issue is published. The online version of JPAH includes Portuguese translations of selected articles. In addition, the journal has an “In Press” feature allowing accepted papers to be published and cited before the availability of the print publication.
