Aim & Scope of IJPFH


The Integrative Journal of Physical Fitness and Health (IJPFH) is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding in the fields of physical fitness and health through interdisciplinary research and collaboration. With a focus on integration across various disciplines, our aim is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to explore the multifaceted aspects of physical fitness and its impact on human health:

  1. Key Objectives:
    • Interdisciplinary Exploration: IJPFH seeks to bridge gaps between disciplines such as exercise physiology, sports science, nutrition, psychology, public health, and rehabilitation medicine. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, we aim to promote holistic approaches to physical fitness and health promotion.

    • Evidence-Based Practices: The journal prioritizes the publication of original research, reviews, and perspectives that are grounded in rigorous scientific inquiry and contribute to evidence-based practices in physical fitness and health. We encourage studies that employ innovative methodologies and address emerging issues in the field.

    • Promotion of Health and Well-Being: IJPFH is committed to promoting the health and well-being of individuals and communities through the dissemination of research on the benefits of physical activity, exercise interventions, preventive strategies, and lifestyle modifications. We aim to facilitate the translation of research findings into practical applications for enhancing physical fitness and improving health outcomes.

    • Inclusivity and Diversity: The journal welcomes contributions from researchers worldwide and encourages diversity in perspectives, methodologies, and study populations. We strive to amplify voices from underrepresented communities and address health disparities related to physical fitness and access to healthcare services.

    • Education and Professional Development: IJPFH serves as a valuable resource for educators, practitioners, and students seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the fields of physical fitness and health. In addition to original research articles, the journal publishes educational resources, case studies, and professional development materials to support lifelong learning and professional growth.
