Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, dependence, sedentary lifestyles, and mental health challenges has underscored the critical need for effective, non-pharmacological health interventions. Exercise-based interventions have emerged as a powerful tool in promoting health, preventing disease, and managing a wide range of conditions, including cardiovascular and ocular disease, diabetes, obesity, and depression.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Innovative Exercise-Based Approaches for Chronic Condition Management". This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research, innovative strategies, and clinical applications of exercise as a key component in health management. By gathering insights from interdisciplinary experts, this Special Issue will highlight the preventive and therapeutic potential of physical activity and exercise in improving individual and public health outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to continue showing the role of physical activity and exercise in promoting well-being, managing chronic conditions, and preventing disease through high-quality research and clinical studies that explore exercise-based, innovative, evidence-based approaches to health control. The goal is to bring together interdisciplinary perspectives that advance the understanding of the preventive and therapeutic potential of physical activity.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Effects of physical activity and exercise on different health dimensions (e.g., musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, ocular, metabolic, psychological).
- Influence of exercise-based interventions on body composition and functionality (including perceptual mechanisms, balance, strength, and other parameters).
- Measurement and quantification of exercise for health.
- Healthy aging through exercise.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Javier Gene-Morales
