Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over recent decades, considerable research effort has been expended studying the cardiovascular effects of physical exercise. There is a general consensus that physical exercise can be both a preventive and therapeutic tool against cardiovascular risk; however, the exact mechanisms by which exercise promotes cardiorespiratory fitness and decreases cardiovascular risk are not fully elucidated. Among exercise-induced mechanisms, changes in mitochondrial function as well as restoration and improvement of vasculature are major contributors to cardiovascular health. In the vasculature, nitrogen monoxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) possess anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and platelet inhibitory effects. Thus, their role is crucial to the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Furthermore, myokines released from skeletal muscle during physical exercise also mediate systemic and cardiovascular protective mechanisms.
As Guest Editors, we invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on the Effect of Exercise on the Cardiovascular System. Original research papers and review articles will be published online in the journal Applied Sciences.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Comparisons between different exercise protocols and modalities.
- The effects of exercise on adverse cardiovascular and metabolic conditions (e.g., myocardial ischemia, heart failure, metabolic syndrome, estrogen deficiency, aging).
- Examination of molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways underlying the adaptive changes of exercise.
- Exercise-induced alterations on NO/CO/H2S-mediated mechanisms.
- Exercise-induced cardiac remodelling.
- Studies exploring the potential beneficial or adverse cardiovascular effects produced by combining physical exercise with drugs and/or natural or synthetic compounds.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
