Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, it has become clear that muscular activity is the basis for a good quality of life and functional capacity, both in health-oriented recreational activities and in those aimed at higher performance.
Therapeutic and physical conditioning strategies require greater concreteness and specificity in order to be tailored to different individual profiles.
This Special Issue will publish selected examples of how a well-directed protocol can impact, from a preventive perspective, and improve muscular fitness and, consequently, bone and joint health in all types of populations and for specific objectives.
This Special Issue could open up new lines of research and debate in activities that are currently in high demand and require constant updating to optimize their results.
