Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great enthusiasm that I am announcing the fourth edition of this Special Issue of JFMK, ‘Health and Performance in Sports at All Ages’, with the aim to examine the effects of sports, practiced at all ages, on health and performance. Health, fitness, and exercise have become very important topics in the literature. Sports-related professionals require the support of evidence-based knowledge to respond satisfactorily to practicing individuals, teams, and combat sports. Topics of interest include strength training, exercise technique, conditioning methodologies and programming, performance recovery, skill development, body composition, nutrition for performance and health, and health- and performance-related testing. We welcome original research, meta-analysis, reviews, and brief reports on these topics.
Prof. Dr. Gianpiero Greco
Guest Editor
