Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the profound interconnection between mental health, cognition, and physiological responses in the context of physical activity, exercise, and sports. This heightened awareness has prompted a paradigm shift towards embracing a holistic psychophysiological perspective in research within this field. Volume III of this Research Topic delves deeper into the intricate relationship between psychological factors, such as depression, anxiety, and motivation, and their impact on physiological variables during physical activity, exercise, and sports performance. Through a comprehensive exploration of this multidimensional interplay, we aim to advance our understanding of how cognition, education, and psychological well-being intersect with physiological responses. By examining the nexus of mental health, cognition, and physiological variables, we aim to shed light on the underlying mechanisms driving performance, behaviour, and overall well-being in athletes and individuals engaged in physical activity. We invite contributors to uncover new insights and pave the way for innovative approaches to enhancing performance, promoting well-being, and addressing mental health challenges in the realm of physical activity, exercise, and sports.
