Abstract
This document describes the required formatting of PANR papers, including margins,
fonts, citation styles, and figure placement. It describes how authors can obtain and use a
DOT style file that will ease adherence to the requirements. It also contains a section on
avoiding formatting errors that frequently appear in Journal of Physical Activity - Nutrition
– Rehabilitation (PANR) submissions. While the format requirements are only
compulsory for final submissions, we encourage authors to adopt and adhere to its
recommendations throughout the submission process.
Keywords: Type your keywords here, separated by semicolons;

Note
Please read these instructions carefully and save them. Use the styles, fonts and point
sizes as defined in this template, but do not change or redefine them in any way as this
will lead to unpredictable results. A template (with its file name ending on .dot, rather
than on .doc) in Word® is a “mold” that formats documents based on it. To use the
PANR template, just double click on it and a brand new document will be created based
on that template. The template formats your text by using a Word® feature called
“Styles”. Styles define the format (or appearance) of a paragraph of text as regards letter
size, indentation, line spacing, etc. If you’re not familiar with using styles, do not worry;
the template arranges everything for you in a user-friendly way.

Introduction
This document briefly describes and illustrates the PANR format. Your article should
look as similar as possible to the formatting template of this document, which can be
found here. Below we outline the basic specifications, including font sizes, margins, etc.
However, the point is to have your articles look similar to the sample, and when in doubt
you should use the sample as your guide. Please feel free to contact the editor of PANR
if you have any questions.
http://www.panr.com.cy
The remainder of this document is organized as follows. Section 3 describes the
style and formatting requirements for PANR papers. Section 4 describes how to obtain
the formatting templates that should simplify following the requirements as well as the
submission process. Finally, Section 5 describes the review process, following by
appendix, acknowledgements and references' guides.
3
Style and Format
Papers must be printed in the single column format as shown in the enclosed sample.
Margins should be 1 1/4 inch left and right. DO NOT CHANGE the headers and the
page numbers of this template. Title should start 1 1/2 inches from the top of the page.
3.1 Fonts
You should use Arial style fonts. Please be very careful not to use nonstandard or
unusual fonts in the paper. Including such fonts will cause problems for many printers.
The title of the paper should be in 14pt bold type. The abstract title should be in 11pt
bold type, and the abstract itself should be in 10pt type. First headings should be in 12
point bold type and second headings should be in 11 point bold italics type. The text and
body of the paper should be in 11 point type. (Title and First and Second Headings
with small letters, only the first letter should be capital).
3.2 Title and Authors
The title appears near the top of the first page, centered. Authors' names should appear
in designated areas below the title of the paper in twelve point bold type. Authors'
affiliations and complete addresses and electronic addresses should be in italics and
eleven point type, (see sample article).
3.3 Abstract
An Abstract is required for every paper; it should succinctly summarize the reason for
the work, the main findings, and the conclusions of the study. Papers written in Greek
language should include an English version of the abstract and the key words. The
abstract should be no longer than 250 words. Do not include artwork, tables, elaborate
equations or references to other parts of the paper or to the reference listing at the end.
The reason is that the Abstract should be understandable in itself to be suitable for
storage in textual information retrieval systems. The abstract appears at the beginning of
the paper, indented 1/4 of an inch from the left and right margins. The title “Abstract”
should appear in bold face 11 point type, centered above the body of the abstract. The
abstract body should be in 10 point type.
Supply some 5–6 keywords, separated with semicolons.
3.4
Headings and Sections
When necessary, headings should be used to separate major sections of your paper.
First-level headings should be in 12 point bold type and second-level headings should
be in 11 point bold type. Do not skip a line between paragraphs. Third-level headings
should also be in 11 point bold type. All headings should be capitalized. After a heading,
the first sentence should not be indented.
References to sections (as well as figures, tables, theorems and so on), should be
capitalized, as in “In Section 5, we show that...”.

3.4.1 Appendices
Appendices, if included, follow the acknowledgments. Each appendix should be lettered,
e.g., “Appendix A”. If online appendices are submitted, they should not be included in the
final manuscript (see below), although they may be referred to in the manuscript. They
will be published online in separate files. The online appendices should be numbered
and referred to as Online Appendix 1, Online Appendix 2, etc.
3.4.2 Acknowledgements
The acknowledgments section, if included, appears after the main body of the text and is
headed “Acknowledgments”. The section should NOT BE NUMBERED. This section
includes acknowledgments of help from associates and colleagues, financial support,
and permission to publish.
3.5 Figures and Tables
Figures and tables should be inserted in proper places throughout the text. Do not group
them together at the beginning of a page, nor at the bottom of the paper. Number figures
sequentially, e.g., Figure 1, and so on.
Figure captions should be below the figures as shown in Figure 1 and the table
captions above the tables as shown in Table 1. Leave a margin of one-quarter inch
around the area covered by the figure and caption. Captions, labels, and other text in
illustrations must be at least nine-point type (preferable).
Table 1. Note well that PANR expects table captions above the table. >= 9pt font.

At present, some types of illustrations in your manuscript may cause problems for
some printers/previewers. Although this is gradually becoming less of an issue, we
encourage authors to use “reliable” programs for producing figures. Before your paper
can be accepted, we must verify that all your figures print successfully on our printers
and may be viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

3.6 Headers and Footers
THIS SECTION FOR THE MOMENT IS NOT APPLIED. [The first page of your article
should include the journal name, volume number, year and page numbers and the doi in
the upper left corner, the submission date and publication date in the upper right corner,
and the copyright notice in the lower left corner. The editor will let you know the volume
number, year, pages, submission date and publication date, and doi for your article.
On the even numbered pages, the header of the page should be the authors' names.
On the odd pages, starting with page 3, the header should be the title of the paper
(shortened if necessary, as in the sample).]
3.6.1 Lists
For tabular summations that do not deserve to be presented as a table, lists are often
used. Lists may be either numbered or bulleted. Below you see examples of both.
1. The first entry in this list
2. The second entry
2.1. A subentry
3. The last entry
 A bulleted list item
 Another one
3.6.2 Footnotes
We encourage authors to use footnotes sparingly, especially since they may be difficult
to read online. Footnotes should be numbered sequentially and should appear at the
bottom of the page, as shown below.1
1
A footnote should appear like this. Please ensure that your footnotes are complete, fully punctuated sentences.

3.7 References
The reference section should be labeled “References” and should appear at the end of
the paper in APA (5th edition) format. A sample list of references is given in Appendix A &
Appendix B. Poorly prepared, incomplete or sloppy references reflect badly on the
quality of your scholarship. Please prepare complete and accurate citations.
Citations within the text should include the author's last name and year, for example
(Clark, 1996). Append lower-case letters to the year in cases of ambiguity, as in
(Ginzburg, 1995a). Multiple authors should be treated as follows: (Asher & Lascarides,
2003) or (Fernandez, Ginzburg & Lappin, 2007). In the case of three or more authors,
the citation can be shortened by referring only the first author, followed by “et al.”, as in
(Rickel et al., 2002). Multiple citations should be separated by a semi-colon, as in
(Schlangen & Skantze, 2009; De Vault, Sagae & Traum, 2009). If two works have the
same author or authors, the appropriate format is as follows: (Di Fabbrizio, Stent &
Bangalore, 2008a, 2008b).
If the authors' names are mentioned in the text, the citation need only refer to the
year, as in “Bard and Aylett (2005) showed that...”.
In general, you should not have parenthetical statements embedded in parenthetical
statements. Therefore, citations within parenthetical statements should not be
embedded in parentheses. Use commas as separators instead. For instance, rather than
“(as shown by Aist (2001))” you should write “(as shown by Aist, 2001)”. Similarly, “(e.g.,
(Di Eugenio, 2000))” should be “(e.g., Di Eugenio, 2000)”. Note that the APA style file
supports the inclusion of prefixes in citations.

Submitting
Contributions to Journal of Physical Activity - Nutrition – Rehabilitation (PANR) are
welcome from throughout the world. Manuscripts may be submitted to the managing
editor or member(s) of editorial board. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their
