Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that physical activity and exercise are the best medications to prevent disease and reverse its symptoms, as well as to improve the physical and mental health and functionality of people suffering from chronic diseases. The main aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality, multi-disciplinary research relating to exercise and its role in health and disease through original research and systematic reviews from all sports and health disciplines. Manuscripts that focus on the short- or long-term effects, or both, in healthy individuals or in those with chronic diseases from various approaches (e.g., performance or health perspectives) are welcome. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by experts in the field and should be submitted by 5 May 2024.
Dr. Antonia Kaltsatou
Guest Editor
