Athlete’s Health and Safety

Dear Colleagues,

The beneficial effects of physical exercise and sport both on a physiological and psychological level are well known and have shown great evolution in the last 50 years. The practice of vigorous physical exercise has beneficial effects on different pathologies such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, respiratory diseases, cancer, etc. In addition, sports practice is negatively related to aspects that are detrimental to health, such as alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption or consumption of ultra-processed foods. The field of physical exercise is constantly evolving, whether with new training methods, with new supplements that improve health and performance, or with new technologies that improve the sports results of athletes. On the other hand, the sports safety section is showing great progress, since science and innovation in materials allow the creation of increasingly effective, safe and sophisticated sports equipment. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Health and sport Physical exercise Sport Sports safety Sports equipments Performance Fitness Sports supplementation
