Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled "Physical Activity, Exercise and Chronic Disease" is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the relationship between physical activity, exercise and chronic diseases. It recognizes physical activity and exercise as practical strategies in the prevention and management of chronic diseases.
Physical activity and structured exercise programs have emerged as vital tools in optimizing health and mitigating the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and certain types of cancer. This Special Issue endeavors to elucidate the intricate mechanisms through which physical activity and exercise serve as crucial tools in reducing the risk of developing chronic conditions. Additionally, it aims to explore strategies for effectively managing chronic diseases and delivering care to clinical populations.
Research indicates that regular physical activity and exercise can positively impact various physiological processes, including improving cardiovascular function, enhancing metabolic health and boosting immune function. Moreover, exercise has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity and promote weight management, all of which are critical factors in chronic disease prevention and management.
Through a collection of research articles and reviews, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the role of physical activity and exercise in the prevention, treatment and management of chronic diseases. We invite submissions elucidating the underlying mechanisms, optimal exercise prescriptions and strategies for implementing physical activity interventions in diverse populations.
By bridging the gap between research and practice, this Special Issue seeks to provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers and individuals aiming to optimize health outcomes and reduce the burden of chronic diseases through physical activity and exercise interventions. Ultimately, it aims to promote evidence-based strategies for incorporating physical activity and exercise into clinical practice and public health initiatives.
