Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The creation of a consolidated body of knowledge about women’s participation in sports and exercise should be prioritized, since the great majority of research in sports is still conducting in men. Despite a call for equity, consistent findings and research about women’s physiology, performance, and response to exercise are still needed to increase the capacity to understand the specific opportunities to adjust the training process to women. The understanding of biological mechanisms and interactions with training load, recovery, and performance is determinant for increasing consolidated evidence. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to open a window of opportunity to publish original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses about women in sports and exercise. Not limiting the topics of research, we welcome research focused on physical activity and exercise for health for different age-groups or populations of women, sports performance in youth and adults, and exercise for injury treatment or prevention.
