Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical exercise has a well-established role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, many issues in the relationship between physical exercise and cardiovascular health still remain unresolved: for example, the more effective exercise protocols and exercise volume needed for counteracting cardiovascular risk factors such hypertension and diabetes in high-risk patients has not yet been established; similarly, short- and long-term central cardiac adaptation to different exercise modalities in healthy individuals and in subjects with cardiovascular diseases are still poorly understood. This Special Issue welcomes studies focusing on the acute effects of single bouts of exercise as well as those evaluating the effects of long-term training programs. By conceiving physical exercise as a real therapeutic intervention, this Special Issue aspires to contribute to clarify what are the most effective modalities and doses of physical exercise needed to improve cardiovascular outcomes. Therefore, trials comparing the effects of different exercise modalities and protocols on specific cardiovascular targets are particularly welcomed. Moreover, this Special Issue has the objective to collect papers elucidating molecular mechanisms by which exercise training exerts its beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system in healthy subjects and in patients with already diagnosed cardiovascular diseases. Studies focusing on exercise-mediated cardiovascular effects in particular subgroups of subjects (post-menopausal women, very elderly/frail subjects, very advanced heart failure, oncology patients undergoing cardiotoxic chemotherapy, etc.) are also welcomed.
