Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sport participation and exercise play a pivotal role in promoting physical health in both athletes and the general population, including symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. However, variability in training responsiveness poses challenges for optimizing health outcomes. This Special Issue welcomes original research and reviews on experimental, cross-sectional, and prospective cohort studies that investigate responders and non-responders to different exercise modalities and the effects of different exercise interventions for understanding its effects on health-related outcomes. Contributions focusing on novel exercise prescription strategies and their role in precision medicine are especially encouraged, with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of tailored interventions for performance, rehabilitation, and long-term health.
