Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The beneficial effects of physical activity are well known. In fact, regular physical activity is associated with a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of many disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, anxiety, and stress. On the other hand, intense physical activity exposes athletes to an increased risk of thrombotic events and muscle injuries, and a higher sensitivity to infections.
In particular, moderate to intense physical activity generates considerable metabolic, endocrine, and bio-chemical changes, reflected in several biomarkers measurable in the laboratory. To date, the main mecha-nisms that determine these variations are largely unknown; their accurate identification could represent a valid tool to monitor the health status of athletes and protect them from damage and decreased fitness.
In this context, this Special Issue aims to identify changes in blood biomarkers during physical activity and to shed light on the interplay between exercise and the onset of disorders that can threaten the health of individuals practising it.
