Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The practice of physical activity and sports promotes changes in the cardiopulmonary system.
Performance improvement associated with changes in this system produced by structured training and training in different environments (altitude, heat, etc.), as well as ergogenic aids, is of vital importance in our area.
As Associate Editor of the Special Issue entitled “Physiological Effects of Sports on the Cardiopulmonary System”, I invite you to submit your manuscripts to Sports. The aim of this Special Issue is to attract manuscripts related to the area of sports training and its influence on short-, medium- and long-term physiological changes in the cardiopulmonary system. This could include, for example, the effect of different training methods at altitude, in heat, or the use of different ergogenic aids on the cardiopulmonary system. Within this Special Issue, experimental research, systematic and meta-analysis, and narrative reviews are welcome to advance our knowledge of physiologic adaptations regarding sports training.
I look forward to receiving your contributions
Dr. Fernando González-Mohíno
Guest Editor
