Special Issue Announcement

From the Editor

Nortis Journal of Sports Sciences began its academic publishing journey with its first issue, released on October 1, 2025. The initial issue received a much higher number of submissions than expected; however, due to time and page limitations, some of the manuscripts could not be included in the first issue.

Therefore, in order to share these valuable manuscripts, whose review processes have been completed and are ready for publication, with the scientific community without delay, a special issue was scheduled to be published on October 26, 2025.

This special issue includes original research articles and review papers in the fields of recreation and psychosocial aspects in sports.

The overwhelming interest in our journal motivates all of us to accelerate the dissemination of scientific knowledge. We sincerely thank all authors, reviewers, and members of our editorial board for their contributions.
