Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical exercise is usually suggested to reduce cardiovascular risk factors and prevent chronic metabolic diseases as a consequence of the effects on the body weight and structure, overall fitness, muscle strength, flexibility, and quality of life. Regular physical training has more recently been promoted for the evidence of the “anti-inflammatory effectiveness”. A positive impact has been shown in the most common “noncommunicable diseases”, such as hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, elderly age, post-transplant syndrome, and also in cancer, where the inflammatory process is globally represented. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines actually support “exercise as therapy” at a moderate level of energy expenditure. The importance of establishing the individual level of physical exercise, like a drug dose, has induced the literature in investigating this aspect in a diverse context varied by sex, age, and/or race/ethnicity, and especially in different clinical fields associated to incorrect life style habits. To reach this goal, a bench to bedside research strategy is needed. The Special Issue, “Tailored Exercise in Patients with Chronic Diseases”, is dedicated to collecting the experience in this field, and authors are invited to submit original research papers and current review articles.
