Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyle interventions can lower risk factors for certain diseases (e.g., CVD) and decrease the need for or the dose of medication. Specifically, interventions of hypocaloric healthy eating and exercise have shown to promote favourable changes in body composition (e.g., decreased visceral adiposity, increased lean mass) and metabolic parameters, contributing to improvement in various aspects of physical and mental health in overweight/obese patients. Given that wide differences between intervention methods (e.g., length of intervention time, exercise protocols, hypocaloric regimes) result in discrepancies and issues of comparability of the observed effects between studies, more research must be conducted to explore the effectiveness of exercise combined with caloric restriction in overweight or obese patients with non-communicable chronic diseases.
We are pleased to receive original research, study protocols, short communications, brief reviews, and reviews (including systematic reviews and meta-analyses) on the effects of the combination of exercise and caloric restriction on parameters such as:
- Body composition;
- Sarcopenia;
- Inflammation;
- Oxidative stress;
- CVD risk factors (e.g., blood pressure);
- Diabetes risk factors (e.g., glucose metabolism);
- Quality of life;
- Adherence to intervention;
- Eating habits;
- Self-esteem;
- Mood state;
- Depression, anxiety, stress;
- Addictions (e.g., smoking, alcohol, food).
