Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc., remain pressing public health challenges, contributing substantially to global morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. While exercise training, dietary strategies, and physical activity are widely recognized as viable approaches to promote health and prevent chronic disease, several mechanisms identified by recent advances in exercise physiology and nutrition science warrant further exploration.
This Special Issue, titled “Exercise Physiology, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Advances in Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention,” aims to collect high-quality research articles that further investigate mechanisms linking exercise physiology, nutritional interventions, and physical activity with improvements in general health and reductions in chronic disease risk factors. We welcome original clinical research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses spanning mechanistic studies, dose–response and exercise prescription, nutritional supplements, behavioral and implementation science, and investigations in diverse populations and risk states that may improve cardiovascular health, metabolic syndrome, body composition, and functional capacity across the lifespan. By bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to narrow the gap between evidence generated in controlled settings and interventions that are more feasible, equitable, and sustainable in real-world contexts, while providing practical recommendations for clinicians, researchers, and public health practitioners.

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-anonymized peer-review process.
