High levels or physical activity or exercise are associated with decreased risk of adverse outcomes in a plethora of chronic diseases. Exercise training may be prescribed as a therapy in several of these conditions, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic lung disease, and cancer, and is an adjunct for patient surgery, prescribed in both prehabilitation and rehabilitation settings. In such conditions, exercise training exerts molecular, cellular, and organ-specific adaptations, which are evident throughout almost all organ systems, involving both direct effects on specific disease processes as well as on tissue cross-talk, with the potential to reverse or cure disease. This special issue will highlight Exercise as Medicine in a translational perspective, linking documented effects of exercise-based therapy in clinical trials with exercise-induced effects on fundamental mechanisms of disease.
Topics for this call for papers include but are not restricted to:
- Exercise as medicine;
- Exercise-based therapy;
- Exercise-induced effects on disease;
- Translational effects of exercise;
- Prehabilitation and rehabilitation exercise prescription;
- Molecular, cellular, and organ-specific adaptations to exercise
