Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical exercise has been linked to several beneficial effects on the human body. These effects help to reduce physiological stresses experienced in everyday life. Cardiometabolic disorders are currently in evidence due to contemporary lifestyles, and the beneficial effects of physical exercise can help in the prevention and treatment of these disorders.
The literature shows a significant increase in the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases in recent decades. Inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular autonomic imbalance are, at the same time, the cause and consequence of these diseases. However, the relationship between such factors and the practice of physical exercise remains to be elucidated. In this sense, a collection of studies on the effects of exercise on cardiometabolic diseases can generate knowledge about this topic and assist in the development of treatments that aim to improve clinical conditions.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue that aims to investigate the effects of physical exercise on cardiometabolic disorders. This includes how exercise can help prevent and treat these disorders.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Systematic/scoping reviews or clinical trials about how physical exercise prevents and/or treats cardiometabolic conditions;
- Cross-sectional and comparative studies that highlight the relationship between physical exercise and cardiometabolic impact;
- Studies involving (but not limited to) metabolism and/or cardiovascular autonomic modulation are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
