Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health-related physical fitness refers to specific components of physical fitness, such as flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, and body composition. Health-related physical fitness is considered one of the most important health markers, as well as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in relation to cardiovascular disease. Regular participation in different sport training programs can improve the five health-related fitness components.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide new insights into “Health-Related Components of Physical Fitness in Individual and Team Sports”. We invite investigators to contribute with original research, meta-analysis, reviews, case studies, short communications, and book reviews related to this topic. Special attention will be given, but no limited, to comparison of different sport modes/protocols, individual responsiveness, physiological changes, body composition, effects of the manipulation of different variables, and influence of external and individual factors (such as nutrition, rest, stress, genetics, and concurrent training, amongst others).
