What's new with physical exercise in 2012?

Seven years ago we embarked upon the adventure of the journal Sport Sciences for Health aiming to cover an area of science related to the beneficial effects of sport and physical exercise on human health [1]. During this period we have selected for publication a total of 101 articles from nine different countries dealing with many aspects of health-related sport issues as well as more specific sport-related technical problems covering a wide array of research areas. The journal is presently at an important turning point with a change in the Editorial Board. For this reason, and as a result of both previous experience and recent evidence in the scientific (and lay) literature, it is important to ask: what are the novelties in the field of physical exercise and sport sciences?
