Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical activity and exercise training induce physiological responses in several body districts, improving functional work capacity and metabolic activity (efficiency). Regular physical activity produces metabolic, physiological, hormonal, and molecular changes involving adaptions into biological systems and tissues. Moreover, regular exercise training not only increases the fitness level but also plays a pivotal role in preventing and in some cases delaying, as a form of non-pharmacological treatment, the insurgence of chronic diseases.
In this context, the health benefits induced by exercise involve the activation of multiple pathways that coordinate metabolic response and tissue plasticity. In facts, the adaptive response to regular exercise involves, at the cellular level, the upregulation of the hormonal and enzymatic system modulation in order to increase the protein synthesis and reduce oxidative damage. Nevertheless, the molecular bases for the adaptive changes in skeletal muscle mass, in neural plasticity and metabolic function, remain an area of intense research with the possibility of designing new therapeutic interventions.
For this Special Issue, studies on the impact of exercise on disease and health or sport performance presented in experimental studies focusing on adaptive mechanisms in human and animal models will be appreciated for publication as original or review articles.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
