The emotional dimensions of the activity in sport and physical education have been the subject of a growing number of studies since the beginning of the 2000s. Various theories and concepts are mobilized to analyze emotions in sport and educational science (i.e., emotional experience, emotional intelligence, emotional labor, coping). The studies based on these concepts also referred to various research methods, qualitative, quantitative or mixed. First, the objective of this special issue is to highlight the diversity of concepts and methods used by researchers. Second, we would to reveal their differences, their complementarities, or their proximities, to better understand the role of emotions in sport and PE. Original empirical articles and reviews of the literature may be proposed to compose this issue.

« Psychophysiological aspects of motor performance »
Gest editor: Romuald Lepers
Motor performance is influenced by interactions between the physiology and psychology of individuals. This special issue aims to present innovative contributions to improve our understanding of the influence of psychophysiological aspects on motor performance (e.g., perception of effort, perception of pain, cognitive/mental fatigue, ego depletion). Scientific contributions such as original experimental studies or literature reviews can be submitted as part of this special issue.
Deadline for submission: May 15th 2022
« Sports, popular culture and material culture »
Gest editors: Sébastien Laffage-Cosnier, Audrey Tuaillon Demésy, Yann Descamps, Sidney Grosprêtre
At a time when sport is increasingly anchored in our everyday lives and objects, as well as in popular culture, this special issue intends to study these sports and/or playful practices which produce – or derive from – this culture, focusing on material goods, which are both products and reflections of a given society. It will focus on the production, consumption and use of these objects – from toys to mobile apps and media productions), but also on the behaviors, norms and rituals they create. Favoring pluri- and transdisciplinary approaches, this issue will explore several themes, including education, identity, sociability, media, heritage, imagination, as well as innovation, and both technical and technological progress.
Articles should not exceed 44,000 characters (including spaces).
Deadline for submission: april 30th 2021
Attention and sports performance: From cognitive processes to implications for learning and competition

Attention and concentration greatly influence motor learning and performance. The attentional processes vary depending on whether one is preparing for the action to come, in the midst of performing it, or trying to forget a recent setback. The stage of learning, the level of expertise, the characteristics of the individual (for example, their age, their level of fatigue…) as well as issues relating to the context (e.g., training session or must-win match) are also important sources of variation in attention.
This thematic issue aims to bring together research located at the crossroads between attentional processes and motor control. Original empirical articles and well-argued theoretical syntheses are welcome.
Submission deadline: September 30, 2020 (in English or French)

Because of their interactive nature, and/or of the rather frequent presence of others during practice, sports and physical activities represent a context susceptible to numerous and various modalities of social influence. This special issue will present an update on the psychological and behavioral processes through which social influence may operate – albeit via an interpersonal relationship (e.g., coach-athlete, teacher-student, parent-child), or due to the appurtenance to certain social categories (e.g., gender, age) – in the field of sport, exercise, and physical activity. Both literature review on theoretical approaches or research questions, and articles presenting original results from empirical studies, will be welcomed. Proposals for articles are to be up-loaded the submission platform of the journal. Authors have to follow the instructions to authors.
Submission Deadline: December 30th 2019

Whether competitive or party sport events, tourism linked to physical activities, proximity sport events, dedicated infrastructures, this thematic issue aims to show the observed operative methods and the questions raised by the public-private pair, the ones it raises and the ones it will raise in the future in France and other countries.
