Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to manipulating lifestyle stimuli to enhance beneficial responses. Optimizing exercise training and/or diet to improve health biomarkers and reduce the risk of chronic disease and premature mortality is imperative to long-term health. Accordingly, it is important have a good understanding of what the various types of supervised exercise and/or nutritional interventions can achieve, and the most effective exercise dose (i.e., frequency, intensity, and volume) and/or combining energy intake control measures (via diet, i.e., low-calorie diet, intermittent fasting, ketogenic diet, etc.), which has been suggested to play key roles in intervention efficacy. Moreover, in the era of “precision medicine”, it stands to reason that when lifestyle modification is prescribed as a treatment modality, program variables should be determined precisely in accordance with specific characteristics of the individual.

This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Improving Health and Preventing Cardiometabolic Risk Through Physical Exercise and Diet Interventions: The Effect of Interindividual Variability Under Different Approaches”, welcomes submissions of original clinical/pragmatic research and observational studies, as well as high quality scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and review of reviews/umbrella reviews. This Special Issue will afford the broad-based benefits of lifestyle while targeting exercise prescriptions and nutritional programs using precision behavioral and lifestyle medicine approaches to help patients combat the increasingly recognized impact during the life course.

Background and objectives: There are studies showing that exercise counseled by health professionals can improve physical fitness. However, less is known about the effects of exercise counseling on quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate health-related quality of life of older adults who received or did not receive physical exercise counseling by sport and exercise professionals or physicians. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that investigated quality of life of older adults who did or did not receive exercise counseling from health professionals. Older adults who were physically active took part in this study: 45 participants performed exercise advised by sport and exercise professionals (SEPCG), 19 participants performed exercise advised by physicians (PCG), and 26 participants performed exercise without counseling (NCG). Participants answered the SF-36 to estimate quality of life. Results: Analysis revealed that responses on all SF-36 subscales were higher in those participants who received counseling by sport and exercise professionals (Functioning capacity, β = −26.283, p < 0.001 and β = −26.482, p < 0.001, Role limitations due to physical problems, β = −43.372, p < 0.001 and β = −45.177, p < 0.001, Pain, β = −17.634, p < 0.001 and β = −16.015, p < 0.001, General health perceptions, β = −38.008, p < 0.001 and β = −32.529, p < 0.001, Vitality, β = −18.573, p < 0.001 and β = −16.406, p = 0.001, Social functioning, β = −37.963, p < 0.001 and β = −29.224, p < 0.001, Role limitations due to emotional problems, β = −52.246, p < 0.001 and β = −40.173, p < 0.001, Mental health, β = −17.381, p < 0.001 and β = −12.121, p < 0.001, PCG and NCG respectively). Conclusions: The results showed that those older adults who were counseled by sport and exercise professionals presented better quality of life, possibly because these professionals counseled exercise based on current guidelines for exercise prescription.
