Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regular exercise and physical conditioning are effective behavioral strategies to prevent musculoskeletal degeneration and chronic diseases and promote individuals’ overall health. Public health institutes in almost every country around the world have established and provided its own physical activity guidelines for disease prevention and health promotion, but the guidelines are somewhat generic. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore safe and effective exercise interventions to improve the function of human systems, including the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, to ameliorate-related diseases, and to rehabilitate functional impairments. Experimental studies, reviews and meta-analyses that examine the effectiveness of various exercise interventions in the prevention and management of disease, rehabilitation and improvement of human function; research studies on the development of strategies to promote physical activity using mobile platforms and virtual reality technology; and innovative measurement technologies and biomarker exploration studies related to sports medicine and rehabilitation are welcome in this Special Issue. When preparing to submit a structured review, please follow the PRISMA guidelines.
