Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The metabolic thresholds detection is fundamental in order to assess the individual physical activities related to weight loss in obese subjects or to a performance improvement of athletes.
Specific incremental physical exercises are requested to detected metabolic thresholds by ventilatory Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) or metabolic variables (Blood Lactate).
Energy consumption and physiological response to different physical exercises are largely studied.
The large diffusion of wearable devices that suit better the cardiovascular monitoring during physical activities have increased the role of heart rate monitoring on this context. Although, the physiological response of the cardiovascular system referable to improvement in cardiovascular fitness is complex mechanism and not yet completely explained. The non linear methods applied on heart rate time series have encouraged researchers to apply these methodology where the medical and paramedical staff to have direct access to parameters pertaining to an automated and personalized approach in athletic performance.
This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions to address this topic with a particular emphasis on how to transfer experimental interventions and findings to practical on field applications.
The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
