Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that physical activity and exercise are the best medications to prevent disease and reverse its symptoms, as well as to improve the physical and mental health and functionality of people suffering from chronic diseases. The main aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality, multi-disciplinary research relating to exercise and its role in health and disease through original research and systematic reviews from all sports and health disciplines. Manuscripts that focus on the short- or long-term effects, or both, in healthy individuals or in those with chronic diseases from various approaches (e.g., performance or health perspectives) are welcome. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by experts in the field and should be submitted by 5 May 2024.

(1) Background: Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) have to deal with numerous symptoms that adversely impact their quality of life. While pharmaceutical treatments offer some relief, they often fall short of addressing the full spectrum of MS symptoms. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Be Cool rehabilitation program, a comprehensive protocol designed to enhance the well-being and life quality of MS individuals. (2) Methods: The Be Cool program is a multifaceted approach that combines exercise training, nutritional guidance, psychological support, and cooling strategies. Adapted to meet the unique needs of MS individuals, this program aims to mitigate symptoms, promote physical and mental health, and improve overall quality of life. The integration of these strategies addresses the complex challenges faced by MS individuals, offering a holistic solution beyond conventional medication. (3) Conclusions: The Be Cool rehabilitation protocol is designed to offer individuals with MS a comprehensive approach to symptom management, fostering improvements in their quality of life. By addressing the multifaceted nature of MS through an integrated strategy, the program holds promise for more effective management of the condition. Full article
