Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise significantly increases the body's energy demands compared to a resting state, triggering physiological adaptations that can prevent or improve key risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. Beyond these benefits, physical activity is strongly associated with increased longevity, primarily by reducing the risk of premature death from cardiovascular-related causes. Furthermore, regular exercise has been shown to modulate the body’s stress response, helping to alleviate chronic stress and anxiety, thereby contributing to overall mental and physical well-being.
Despite the clear importance of exercise, the specific mechanistic pathways underlying its cardiovascular benefits remain an area of active investigation. Understanding these pathways is critical not only for optimizing exercise regimens but also for developing adjunctive therapies. Such therapies could augment the effects of exercise or provide alternative interventions for individuals who are unable or unwilling to engage in physical activity due to medical or personal constraints. The integration of applied science in this domain holds the potential to revolutionize preventive and rehabilitative care strategies.
This Special Issue, "Exercise Physiology: New Exercise Regime Benefits the Function of Blood Vessels, Heart and Brain", seeks to highlight cutting-edge research on the effects of various forms of exercise, physical activity, therapy, and physiotherapy on enhancing human health and performance. Additionally, it aims to explore innovative avenues for developing exercise-based and adjunctive therapeutic strategies, fostering advancements in the prevention and management of chronic diseases through applied and translational science.
