It may refer to a philosophical thesis about the nature of life and biology, to the internal workings of a machine-like structure, or to the causal explanation of a particular phenomenon. In this Special Issue, we try to discuss these possible biological mechanisms that underlie the beneficial effects of physical fitness and sports performance, as well their importance and role/influences on physical health.Despite the significant body of knowledge regarding the physiological and physical effects of different training methods (based on dimensions of load), some of the biological causes for those changes are still unknown. Additionally, few studies have focused on the natural biological variability in humans and how specific properties of humans may justify different effects for the same training intervention. Thus, more original research is needed to provide plausible biological mechanisms that may explain the physiological and physical effects of exercise and training in humans.In this Special Issue, we gather the contributions that describe and list the links between physical fitness, sports performance, and human biology.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscbody compositionBIVAfat massweight lossHRQoLknowledgephysical activityrheumatic diseaseswomen25(OH)Dphysiology of performancespubertypre-planned agilitynon-planned agilityParalympic Powerliftingibuprofenmuscle strengthoxidative stressrecovery of functionsatellite cellsmuscle regenerationmyogenic regulatory factorsinflammationexerciseageathletic performancerowingsportyoung athletemathematical modelexecutive functionscognitive performanceyouthphysical educationBIAcoronavirus diseasedetrainingfootballmuscle massteam sportssoccerhigh-intensitysmall-sided gamespsychophysiological responsescombined trainingcyclingenduranceoxygen uptakeFTPthresholdpowerstrengthmuscular activityelectromyographycore endurance testmuscular performanceerythropoietinerythroferronemental healthsportsspinal cord injuryresistance trainingmuscle damageacid-base balancekickboxingmetabolic acidosistype 2 diabetesphysical exercisehigh-intensity interval trainingcardiac autonomic modulationheart rate recoveryheart rate variabilityaerobic traininghealthtriathlonperformanceergogenic aidsmuscle fatiguerecoveryhormonesantioxidantbody fatIgAimmunomodulationnutritional supplementobesityvibrating exercise equipmentchronic low back painsurface electromyographybiological mechanismsphysical healthsports and exercise physiologyglucagon-like peptide-1glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptidedry land trainingone repetition maximumback squatwater parachuteaquatic trainingswimming performancehypoxic dosemuscular endurancesex differenceflankeradolescentTabata trainingblood pressurecardiorespiratory fitnessphysical education lessonslog-linear analysismultivariate correspondence analysisloadheart ratehigh-speed runningmonotonymuscle sorenesssprintsleepstrainstresstumourdepressioncancer survivorshipcardiovascular fitnessaerobic capacityskin surface temperaturehigh-intensity exercisethermal imagingacute exercisehormonal responsesalivastrength traininglean body masskinanthropometryResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesGeorgian Badicuedt1284017Clemente Filipe ManueledtMurawska-Ciałowicz EugeniaedtGeorgian BadicuothClemente Filipe ManuelothMurawska-Ciałowicz EugeniaothBOOK9910637781003321Biological Mechanisms Underlying Physical Fitness and Sports Performance3019216UNINA
