Focus And Scope

Journal of Exercise Physiology and Human Performance (JOSPHE) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research related to the physiological, neurocognitive, psychological, organizational, and functional determinants of human performance. The journal aims to advance scientific understanding of the mechanisms, adaptations, interventions, and environmental factors that influence performance, health, productivity, and functional capacity across diverse populations and settings.

JOSPHE welcomes interdisciplinary research from exercise physiology, neuroscience, physiotherapy, rehabilitation sciences, sports science, nursing, occupational health, psychology, management, human factors, and related fields.

The journal particularly focuses on the following areas:

1. Exercise and Sport Performance

Research addressing exercise physiology, sports performance, training adaptation, physical fitness, fatigue and recovery, sports nutrition, performance assessment, biomechanics, exercise prescription, sports injury prevention, and athletic performance optimization.

2. Cognitive and Mental Performance

Research exploring cognitive function, neuroscience, mental resilience, motivation, emotional regulation, stress management, sleep, mental health, psychological well-being, decision making, and their relationships with human performance.

3. Occupational Health, Leadership, and Workforce Performance

Research examining occupational physiology, workplace health, ergonomics, work capacity, occupational fatigue, workforce productivity, employee performance, leadership, organizational behavior, work engagement, work discipline, motivation, self-efficacy, organizational psychology, human factors, psychological well-being, and individual, environmental, and organizational determinants of human performance across occupational settings.

4. Rehabilitation and Functional Performance

Research related to physiotherapy, rehabilitation sciences, functional capacity, return-to-activity programs, return-to-work, clinical exercise interventions, disability management, healthy aging, nursing interventions, perioperative care, clinical functional outcomes, and functional performance optimization.

The journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, narrative reviews, scoping reviews, case reports, and applied studies that contribute to the advancement of human performance science.
