Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The World Health Organization and many countries have developed physical activity guidelines due to the overwhelming evidence supporting the health benefits not only in apparently healthy individuals but also in patients with documented cardiovascular disease. In this Special Issue, we aim to gather manuscripts including reviews, original research, and meta-analyses on the role of physical activity in clinical practice and research of cardiovascular disease—a group of heart and blood vessel disorders that contribute to the majority of mortality globally. We welcome articles providing new insights into:
The impact of physical fitness on cardiovascular diseases;
The impact of resistance activity or aerobic activity on cardiovascular diseases;
New tools for clinical assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness;
Incorporating physical activity into patients’ electronic health records;
Exercise experimental studies in populations with cardiovascular diseases;
Impact of physical activity, exercise, and fitness on COVID-19 and its outcomes;
Mechanisms for the potential benefits of physical activity and fitness, as well as other related topics.
