Influence of Exercise and Nutrition on Physiological and Mental Response in Different Population and Conditions
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical exercise and nutrition play crucial roles as environmental factors that can positively impact physiological responses, such as musculoskeletal development; promoting and sustaining peak bone density, muscle mass, and strength throughout the life course; and improving cardiometabolic health. Furthermore, physical activity and nutrition are important strategies to prevent and improve mental health across different populations (children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly) and in various conditions (sedentary individuals, trained individuals, athletes) or among people with metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, such as mental disorders. In this Topic, we welcome cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies, randomized controlled trials, narrative and systematic reviews, and meta-analyses related to the acute and chronic effects of exercise, with or without nutritional intervention, on physiological and psychological responses in diverse populations.
