Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure (WHO, 2020). People who perform regular physical activity have a lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer, breast cancer, early death, osteoarthritis, hip fracture, falls (among older adults), depression, and dementia. As a result of COVID-19 isolation, there was an increase in individuals' perceptions of the importance of being physically active in maintaining good quality of life and health.
Furthermore, physical exercise has many health benefits, and evidence of this continues to accumulate. Healthcare professionals should incorporate physical exercise counseling for patients into their daily clinical practice.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on the effects of different types of physical exercise on people’s health, and welcomes new research papers, reviews, and case reports. Papers on new approaches to the practice of physical exercise in relation to their health or risk assessment are also welcome. Other accepted manuscript types include methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries.
