The International Journal of Exercise Science (IJES) promotes inclusion by providing guidance on diversity, representation, and accessibility for authors and readers. This position stand emphasizes valuing all identities in scientific practice.
Area of Science:
- Exercise Science
- Sports Science
- Physical Activity Research
Background:
- The International Journal of Exercise Science (IJES) established a working group focused on opportunity, representation, and diverse perspectives.
- The working group was tasked with creating a position stand to guide inclusion in scientific practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present IJES ideals for authors, reviewers, and readership regarding inclusion.
- To provide guidance on critical areas of diversity, representation, and accessibility in exercise science.
Main Methods:
- Developing a position stand with key points and detailed explanations.
- Addressing specific areas including inclusive language, diversity in research, and accessibility.
- Covering demographic factors such as age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, and neurodiversity.
Main Results:
- Key points and detailed explanations on inclusive practices are presented.
- Guidance is offered on utilizing person-first language while respecting community preferences.
- The journal commits to fostering a welcoming environment for all identities.
Conclusions:
- IJES advocates for an inclusive environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and included.
- The position stand serves as a practical guide for promoting diversity and representation in exercise science.
- Adherence to these ideals is crucial for advancing equitable practices in scientific publishing.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
