About this Research Topic
Traditional exercise modalities have expanded to encompass diverse approaches such as yoga, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), and electric biking (e-bike). While these modalities vary significantly, they share the common goals of making exercise more accessible and improving physical health and well-being. Understanding the physiological responses and adaptations elicited by these unconventional exercises is crucial for optimizing training protocols, enhancing performance, and promoting overall health.
Recent research has begun shedding light on the unique physiological mechanisms underlying these modalities, revealing diverse effects on cardiovascular function, metabolism, health, performance, and exercise adherence. Moreover, the implications of these adaptations extend beyond athletic performance to encompass broader health outcomes, including chronic disease management and prevention.
The goal of this Research Topic is to elicit contributions from researchers across disciplines to elucidate further the intricate interplay between unconventional exercise modalities and human physiology. By synthesizing current knowledge and advancing new insights, this initiative aims to inform evidence-based practices and promote holistic approaches to physical fitness, health, and well-being.
This Research Topic aims to bring together cutting-edge research exploring the physiological responses and adaptations associated with these alternative exercise approaches. We welcome submissions covering a wide range of topics related to physiological adaptations, including but not limited to:
1. Cardiovascular adaptations
2. Metabolic responses
3. Muscular adaptations
4. Respiratory changes
5. Neurological adaptations
6. Endocrine responses
7. Immune system effects
8. Thermoregulatory responses
We invite original research articles, review papers, and case reports that contribute to our understanding of how unconventional exercise modalities influence human physiology. Submissions employing diverse methodologies, including laboratory-based studies, field experiments, longitudinal investigations, and interdisciplinary approaches, are encouraged.
