With the progress of modern technology and changes in people's lifestyles, physical inactivity poses a huge health challenge to the global population. Given the concept of “exercise is medicine”, exercise is the most economical and environmentally friendly mode of intervention, which is beneficial to health promotion and recovery from diseases, and fits perfectly with the national strategy of pushing the public health work forward and proactive healthcare. AEHS covers new results, technologies, theories and practical applications in exercise and health science. Current areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Exercise and health promotion and policy, exercise physiology and nutrition, exercise medicine, exercise and health psychology, exercise biomechanics, molecular and cell biology of exercise and nutrition, exercise and artificial intelligence. The founding of AEHS provides an excellent platform for scholars from all over the world to engage in academic exchanges on the frontiers of exercise and health science.
The establishment of AEHS is not only a response to the major national strategic needs of the Double First-Class Construction, but also a need to foster a world-class science and technology journal and promote the development of international academic exchanges. The journal is dedicated to serving staff members from institutions of higher learning, research organizations, healthcare systems, and other fields related to exercise and health science. It aims to provide a platform for scholars from all over the world to discuss the cutting-edge theories and methods in exercise and health science, share the latest research results in the field, and provide guidance on health promotion and recovery from diseases. We welcome experts and scholars engaging in research in exercise and health science at home and abroad to share high-quality and innovative research results, reviews and systematic reviews on the AEHS platform and lead the research direction of the field. AEHS looks forward to your attention and support.
