In the realm of physical fitness, traditional exercise modalities have evolved to include not only standard practices but also diverse approaches like yoga, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), and electric biking (e-biking). While these modalities vary significantly, they share the common goal of enhancing accessibility and improving the physical health and well-being of individuals. The emerging interest in these unconventional exercises highlights a growing need to understand the physiological responses and adaptations elicited by these unconventional exercises to optimize training protocols, enhance performance, and promote overall health.
A growing body of recent studies highlights the distinct physiological mechanisms activated by these exercise modalities, showing diverse effects on cardiovascular health, metabolic rates, exercise adherence, and overall physical health and performance. These findings suggest that understanding these unique responses is critical for developing enhanced training protocols that support health improvements and disease prevention. The broad implications of these results necessitate further exploration to better integrate unconventional exercises into broader health and wellness strategies.
This Research Topic aims to explore the complex interactions between unconventional exercise modalities and human physiology further. To deepen our understanding in this field, we are calling for original research articles, review papers, and case reports that investigate:
Cardiovascular adaptations
Metabolic responses
Muscular adaptations
Respiratory changes
Neurological adaptations
Endocrine responses
Immune system effects
Thermoregulatory responses
By collating a diverse array of studies, from controlled lab experiments to longitudinal field studies, this collection seeks to forge new pathways in the application of these insights to promote holistic health-oriented exercise regimes.
