Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a conditioning method involving brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion. It has gained increasing attention due to its excellent outcomes in heart, liver, and kidney protection against ischemia–reperfusion injuries. Furthermore, an increasing body of work explores the impact of local ischemic preconditioning (IPC) or remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on sport performance, in terms of both the overall anaerobic and aerobic capacity as well as the molecular, biochemical, and local neuromuscular response.
However, despite the enormous efforts made by academic researchers, the effect of IPC or RIPC on performance remains inconclusive, with up to 60% of studies showing a positive effect and 36% and 4% showing no or negative effects, respectively. Therefore, new research focusing on the evaluation of the effectiveness, modification, and complexity of ischemic procedures are urgently needed. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of remote ischemic preconditioning and ischemic preconditioning and their applications in diverse areas. This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions on advances in the modification of ischemic procedures, molecular mechanisms of ischemia action, and new potential applications of ischemic procedures in health and sport performance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: IPC/RIPC procedures at the molecular level; biochemical adaptations induced by ischemic preconditioning; mechanisms of action; IPC/RIPC procedures as a way of improving adaptation to ischemic stress and increasing skeletal muscle performance; future perspectives for ischemic procedures in health and physical activity.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
