Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The beneficial effects of physical activity on health are well demonstrated. For example, regular physical activity improves cardiovascular health, brain function, and muscle function, and reduces anxiety and depression. However, rather than physical activity, this Special Issue will focus on physical exercise and movement, which refer more to the voluntary action of the individual to move. Physical exercise is an action, a gesture or gestures, a planned, structured, repetitive movement or movements, one of the overall objectives of which is to improve or maintain one or more components of physical capacity and mental form. In this context, it seems interesting to specify the beneficial effects of physical exercise and movement on health in the short and long term, and to specify their effects in different life contexts: pathological, disabling, and healthy contexts.
Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue. In addition, we welcome the submission of papers investigating the different ways to allow active people to continue to move and sedentary people to engage in regular physical exercises and movements. Finally, we also welcome papers providing physiological scientific elements to better understand how physical exercises and movements can maintain and improve health in a sustainable way, particularly studies trying to determine the lowest “dose” of exercise needed in everyday life to improve human health (i.e., in terms of duration, frequency, and intensity).
