Editorial Statement
Exercise Immunology Review, an official publication of the International Society of Exercise and Immunology and of the German Society of Sports Medicine and Prevention, is committed to developing and enriching knowledge in all aspects of immunology that relate to sport, exercise, and regular physical activity. In recognition of the broad range of disciplines that contribute to the
understanding of immune function, the journal has adopted an interdisciplinary focus. This allows dissemination of research findings from such disciplines as exercise science, medicine, immunology, physiology, behavioral science, endocrinology, pharmacology, and psychology.
Exercise Immunology Review publishes review articles that explore:
(a) fundamental aspects of immune function and regulation during exercise.
(b) interactions of exercise and immunology in the optimization of health and protection against acute infections.
(c) deterioration of immune function resulting from competitive stress and overtraining.
(d) prevention or modulation of the effects of aging or disease (including HIV infection; cancer; autoimmune, metabolic or transplantation associated disorders) through exercise.
(e) instrumental use of exercise or related stress models for basic or applied research in any field of physiology, pathophysiology or medicine with relations to immune function.
Author Instructions
EIR usually solicits papers from authors with acknowledged expertise in the field to be covered. Unsolicited papers will be considered and can also be accepted. All papers are subject to a peer review process. Usually the manuscripts will fit into one of two major categories: I) A review which thoroughly covers the area indicated in the heading and includes structuring and critical discussion of existing knowledge and, if possible, the ideas of the authors about potential practical consequences and future developments. Mere mentioning and listing of existing literature is not considered to be a good review. The review can be long, if necessary, or short, if the field covered by the heading is relatively new or very focused. II) a paper showing original data accompanied by an extended, review-type discussion.
The general format of the review is somewhat flexible. A review must however have an abstract, an introduction and a conclusion around the main sections. Reviews with three or more sections should list the headings of the sections in form of a bullet point table at the end of the introduction. Longer sections should also give a short interim summary at their end. If substantial amounts of the authors‘ own new data are to be shown, a section on methods and on results must be included. Data will only be accepted, if methods are stated clearly and appropriate statistical evaluation of results is given. Other types of papers, eg true meta-analyses of a circumscribed sector of literature or papers focusing on new ideas or hypotheses may also be considered. Interested authors, please contact the editorial board.
For reference style use the one as applied by J. Appl. Physiol., with references listed in alphabetical order. In text use ref. numbers in brackets. When giving more than 1 reference in one bracket, use numerical order. The maximum number of references is normally 150. A short running head should appear after the title, followed by the authors and their respective affiliations. The full address of correspondence should include an e-mail address of the correspondent author. Up to five key words should be added after the abstract. Please use e-mail for all communications including manuscript submission (word or pdf-file) if possible and paste "EIR” in the subject field of your mailing program. Generally, the submission deadline for the next issue of EIR is September, 30th
