International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Section “Exercise and Health-Related Quality of Life” Scope Update
To further enhance the quality of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH, ISSN: 1660-4601) and its published papers, under the guidance of our Section Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Germán Vicente-Rodríguez, the journal has updated and revised the scope of the Section “Exercise and Health-Related Quality of Life”. The original scope and the updated scope are listed below.

The section “Exercise and Health-Related Quality of Life” within the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) is dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge on the intersection of exercise, physical activity, sport or sedentarism (as environment-related human behaviour), and their impact on health-related quality of life, health promotion, and disease prevention both at the individual and especially population levels. This section aims to bridge the gap between disciplines, fostering a transdisciplinary approach integrating biological, social, environmental, and behavioural determinants of health. The primary objectives of this section are to 1) explore the intricate relationship between exercise and health-related quality of life; 2) determine how natural, built, occupational, digital, and social environments influence physiological responses, long-term adaptations, and effectiveness of exercise interventions or physical activity promotion, and finally how these factors contribute to an individual’s overall quality of life; 3) understand the impact of socio-cultural and behavioural factors on exercise and physical activity participation from a health perspective; and 4) assess the role of exercise in promoting physical, mental, and social well-being across diverse populations and settings. We welcome original articles, reviews and meta-analyses, and short communications addressing public health-relevant aspects of physical activity, exercise, sedentary behaviour, and lifestyle interventions, including community-based programs, population-level strategies, and policy-related implications. We encourage submissions that delve into the multifaceted aspects of how various forms of physical activity (e.g., occupational physical activity and sports) impact not only physical or physiological health but also mental, emotional, and social well-being.

The section “Exercise and Health-Related Quality of Life” within the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) is dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge on the intersection of exercise, physical activity, sport or sedentarism (as environment-related human behavior), and quality of life with a primary focus on health promotion and disease prevention. This section aims to bridge the gap between disciplines, fostering a transdisciplinary approach that integrates biological, social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health. The primary objectives of this section are to 1) explore the intricate relationship between exercise and health-related quality of life; 2) determine how environmental factors, both natural and built, influence the acute responses or chronic adaptations of various physiological systems to exercise, the effectiveness of exercise interventions, and, finally, how these factors contribute to an individual’s overall quality of life; 3) understand the impact of socio-cultural factors on exercise from a health perspective; and 4) assess the benefits of exercise on human health. We welcome original articles, reviews and meta-analyses, and short communications from innovative research on all significant aspects of exercise, health promotion, environment, and quality of life. We encourage submissions that delve into the multifaceted aspects of how various forms of physical activity (e.g., occupational physical activity and sports) impact not only physical or physiological health but also mental, emotional, and social well-being.
