Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Health Outcomes: Interventional and Observational Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness have been linked to health benefits. However, the scientific literature still needs more findings regarding the relationship between physical activity/cardiorespiratory fitness and several health outcomes. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on the links between physical activity/cardiorespiratory fitness and physical or mental health outcomes in different populations (i.e., older adults, cancer survivals, children, adolescents, overweight individuals, people with disabilities, employees, and others). New research papers reporting interventional or observational approaches are welcome to this Special Issue. Systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses aiming investigate relationships between domains of physical activity and health outcomes will also be considered. Papers dealing with alternative approaches to derive cardiorespiratory fitness, as non-exercise equations, are also welcome. Methodological papers will also be accepted if they focus on methodological challenges of physical activity or cardiorespiratory fitness measures.
