Advances in Healthcare of Athletes

Dear Colleagues,

Although the health benefits of physical exercise are well known, high-level physical training can significantly increase risks to the health of athletes.

Allowing athletes to achieve peak performance while maintaining high levels of physical and mental health is contextually complex. Athletes subject the body to great physical stress, generating changes in different physiological systems.

We are pleased to invite you to provide research with evidence-based studies on athlete health care, athlete disease prevention, athlete injury and athlete health status by attracting articles describing the current state of the art.

This Special Issue aims to publish original application studies and reviews, including clinical trials and observational studies on the status, control and assessment of the athlete's health status during and after their high-level competitive period.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: systematic reviews and meta-analyses of athlete health, athlete care, athlete health assessment, athlete wellness and athlete wellness monitoring.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
