Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The literature demonstrates that the benefits of human movement go beyond the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system and athletic performance, impacting the control of the progression of specific diseases or even lowering drug need. Practicing sports and physical activity is one of the most effective strategies in maintaining and improving health as a preventive factor in a large number of diseases. The WHO recommends that all countries establish national guidelines and set physical activity targets. Human movement programs are applied to subjects with cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic metabolic conditions, depression, and osteoporosis. Furthermore, exercise programs are also employed to increased one’s strength, endurance, and mobility, improving the quality of life in elderly populations; even minor increases in physical activity are associated with improved health.
Therefore, this Special Issue seeks original research articles and reviews on any subject related to exercise, sports medicine, human movement, and physical fitness. Particular interest will be on articles that examine the effects of movement in the most common chronic diseases. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field and held to the highest level of academic and scientific integrity. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
