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, and functional determinants of human performance. The journal aims to advance scientific understanding of the mechanisms, adaptations, and interventions that influence performance, health, productivity, and functional capacity across diverse populations and settings.

JOSPHE welcomes interdisciplinary research from exercise physiology, neuroscience, rehabilitation sciences, sports science, occupational health, 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, and injury prevention.

2. Cognitive and Mental Performance

Research exploring cognitive function, neuroscience, mental resilience, motivation, emotional regulation, stress management, sleep, mental health, and their relationships with human performance.

3. Occupational Health, Productivity, and Workforce Performance

Research examining occupational physiology, workplace health, ergonomics, work capacity, occupational fatigue, workforce productivity, occupational performance, psychological well-being, human factors, work engagement, 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, clinical exercise interventions, disability management, healthy aging, and functional outcomes.

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