Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise is a cornerstone of physical health, influencing a wide array of bodily functions and characteristics. From enhancing muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness to preventing eye disease and improving bone density and metabolic health, exercise plays a pivotal role in shaping our physical attributes.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute studies that delve into the physiological, biomechanical, and morphological changes induced by different types of exercise regimens. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the multifaceted impacts of various exercise modalities on the human body, encompassing both the general population and specific groups such as athletes, older adults, and individuals with chronic conditions. We seek to gather multidisciplinary, innovative research and comprehensive reviews that delve into the physiological, biomechanical, and morphological changes prompted by physical activity. By highlighting cutting-edge research and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this Special Issue aspires to deepen our understanding of how exercise interventions can be optimized to enhance physical health and performance.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the role of exercise under the following parameters:
- Muscle hypertrophy and bone density;
- Eye health;
- Cardiovascular health;
- Metabolic adaptations;
- Visual adaptations;
- Sports vision;
- Mitigating age-related physical decline.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
