European Journal of Applied Physiology - Call for Papers: 100 Years of Exercise Physiology

The European Journal of Applied Physiology is announcing a call for papers to fill in the gaps and to complement those topics for which review proposals have already been accepted. For information on the rationale underpinning the Century of Exercise Physiology series, and a link to all papers in this topical series, please click here (this opens in a new tab).

Topics already covered include: skeletal muscle oxygenation, skeletal muscle blood flow, coupling of ventilation to muscle demands, muscle energetics, regulation of skeletal muscle volume, surface membrane ion transport; actin-myosin interactions, contractility and fatigue; glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism, balance control during locomotion, muscle damage, muscle repair, thermal physiology, pulmonary gas exchange / respiratory physiology. 

As you can see there are gaps. These papers are to be key-concept reviews, or an insightful evidence-based perspective, on how your research discipline has evolved over the past century and has led to current and future research directions. A goal of this series is to introduce the meaningful past to our younger researchers and readers, and importantly to give all readers a more complete understanding of our exercise physiology/exercise science disciplines.

The writing must be clear and free from jargon so that physiologists outside of a particular research area can benefit. There is no recommendation regarding numbers of words, figures, tables and references. A requirement is that at least one key concept or summary figure, in colour, is presented that introduces or summarizes key concepts. When possible, figures are to be colour - there is no charge for this.

Interested authors are asked to directly contact the EJAP Reviews Editor (this opens in a new tab).
