**Preface to "Women in Sports and Exercise: From Health to Sports Performance"**

The creation of a consolidated body of knowledge about women's participation in sports and exercise should be prioritized, since the great majority of research in sports is still conducting in men. Despite a call for equity, consistent findings and research about women's physiology, performance, and response to exercise are still needed to increase the capacity to understand the specific opportunities to adjust the training process to women. The understanding of biological mechanisms and interactions with training load, recovery, and performance is determinant for increasing consolidated evidence. Therefore, this Special Issue provided more information about the impact of exercise and sports activities on women, allowing further advances in sports sciences and exercise.
