Metabolomic Advances in Promoting Exercise-Induced Metabolic Changes

Dear Colleagues,

Physical exercise promotes several physical and mental benefits to the human body and plays an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases. The effects of exercise are mediated by a complex process that involves the activation of integrated body systems at the molecular and cellular levels. The increasing use of metabolomics technologies in this field has allowed researchers to investigate the impact of exercise on the body through analyzing metabolites released by tissues such as skeletal muscle, bone and liver into blood, saliva, urine and sweat. Therefore, metabolomics approaches have contributed to a very comprehensive metabolic picture, enabling a more complete and accurate identification of the underlying mechanisms, pathways and biomarkers involved in disease; helping to assess therapeutic efficacy; and design personalized exercise programs for optimal health and performance, as well as for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders. Thus, in this Special Issue, researchers are encouraged to submit manuscripts (original research, reviews, mini reviews and perspective articles) based on metabolomic approaches, focusing on acute and chronical changes caused by exercise, as well as the combination of physical exercise with other therapies (nutrition and medication), in individuals with or without morbidities, athletes and individuals of different sex, race, ethnicity and/or region

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
