The Brazilian Archives of Physical Education, in its volume 8 (2025), reaffirms its commitment to the dissemination of high-quality scientific work, interdisciplinary dialogue, and the promotion of national and international academic production in the field of Physical Education and related areas.

This edition brings together contributions that address contemporary challenges in science, highlighting, in its editorial, a critical reflection on the use of Artificial Intelligence in scientific research, addressing both its epistemic potential and the ethical dilemmas involved in the production of knowledge. The text invites researchers, teachers, and students to reflect on the ongoing transformations in scientific practice and on academic responsibility in the face of new technologies.

The volume also includes the Abstracts of the 1st International Meeting on Placebo, Pain and Exercise Performance, an event that brought together national and international researchers to discuss current issues on placebo, pain, and performance in physical exercise. The publication of these abstracts broadens the scientific reach of the event, strengthening the circulation of ideas, research results, and academic experiences relevant to the field.

By bringing together theoretical reflections and scientific productions linked to international events, this edition reaffirms the Brazilian Archives of Physical Education as a plural, open space committed to the advancement of knowledge, stimulating critical thinking, methodological innovation, and scientific exchange.
