New Insights and Perspectives of Controlling the Physical Activity Load: Sports Performance and Health

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, which is titled "New Insights and Perspectives of Controlling the Physical Activity Load: Sports Performance and Health”.

A growing body of literature is using innovative methods to control the training load in different environments. This is relevant due to the impact of physical and cognitive load on wellbeing, stress, anxiety, or task performance, among other variables. For these reasons, controlling training and physical activity loads is a priority for coaches and clinicians.

Therefore, in the present Special Issue, we aim to publish high-quality original investigations which analyze different innovative methods to control physical load. We look forward to receiving contributions related (but not limited) to the following topics: training load monitoring, cognitive load monitoring, stress and anxiety assessment, neurophysiological indexes to control stress, physical or cognitive load, or recovery process after exercise. We welcome systematic reviews and meta-analyses, study protocols, and original papers. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by experts in the field by October 2022.
