While the Journal is international in nature, only submissions in English will be reviewable. If accepted, a copy of the revised manuscript in another language may be published as an addendum along with the English version; however page numbers will not be assigned to this addendum.
All portions of the manuscript should be single spaced. Also, please include the following in order:
Title – should appropriately and concisely describe the overall study. Consider a title that will make electronic retrieval of the article both sensitive and specific.
Authors' names and current institutional affiliations. Undergraduate students should be denoted with the "*" symbol, graduate students denoted with the "†" symbol, and professionals denoted with the "‡" symbol when submitting manuscripts.
Name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed.
2. Abstract and Key Words
An abstract that accurately reflects the content of the study should be provided. The context of the study should be presented with a statement of the purpose of the study, basic procedures, main findings, and principal conclusions. The abstract should be limited to 250 words. In a separate line, 3 – 10 key words or short phrases that are not found in the title or abstract should be included to assist indexers in cross-indexing the article.
This section explains the context or background for the study. While a review of literature is not appropriate here, enough detail must be provided for readers to understand the reason for conducting the experimentation. Include a statement of purpose or statement of hypothesis.
4. Methods
This section details the protocol used to collect study data. The Methods section should include only the following subheadings:
Participants – provide a description of inclusion and exclusion criteria used with participants. Study participants have a right to privacy that should not be violated without informed consent. Experiments involving the use of human participants must follow procedures in accordance with the ethical standards of the Helsinki Declaration. Experimentation involving the use of animals must indicate the guide for care and use that was followed. Please include a description of the power analysis or effect size calculation that was employed to arrive at the total number of participants for the study. Each author must agree that they have conformed to the ethical standards contained in the publication "Ethical Issues Relating to Scientific Discovery in Exercise Science". To acknowledge this, it is required that the work is referred to in this section using the statement "This research was carried out fully in accordance to the ethical standards of the International Journal of Exercise Science" along with the following reference: Navalta JW, Stone WJ, Lyons TS. Ethical Issues Relating to Scientific Discovery in Exercise Science. Int J Exerc Sci 12(1): 1-8, 2019.
Protocol – this section should include the methodology, equipment or apparatus (provide manufacturer name and address in parentheses), and procedures in adequate detail to allow other investigators to replicate the results.
Statistical Analysis – statistical methods should be described in enough detail to allow a knowledgeable reader with access the original data to verify the reported results. Include the computer software used, and the alpha-level used for the determination of significance.
The results should be reported in a logical sequence, giving the main findings first. The use of descriptive text, tables, and figures should be unique and not repeat information. Tables and figures should be restricted to those needed to explain the argument of the paper. Graphs should be used as an alternative to tables with many entries.
This section emphasizes new and important aspects generated from the study. Do not simply repeat information previously given in the Introduction and/or the Results sections. It may be helpful to begin the Discussion with a summary of the main findings of the study, and then suggest potential mechanisms or explanations, compare and/or contrast the results with previous research, and provide the implications of the findings for future research. Be careful not to make unqualified statements that are not adequately supported by the study data.
Include funding sources or sources of support, disclaimers, or contributions that do not warrant authorship.
Readers should be provided with primary references to original research. Avoid using review articles, abstracts, and "personal communication" as references. In text citations should be identified by Arabic numerals in parentheses. References should be numbered and listed alphabetically. Journal titles should be abbreviated in the style used in Index Medicus.

9.Tables and Figures
Include tables and figures in appropriate places within the body of the text (do not list each separately at the end of the manuscript). Each table and figure must be cited in the text. Number tables consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text. Provide a brief but descriptive title at the top of each table, and explanatory footnotes at the bottom for all nonstandard abbreviations. Tables must be presented in portrait mode only and be configured so that it does not span more that one page. Tables with excessive content must be broken into to smaller quantities or non-essential data should be removed. Figures should be included in a common electronic format (JPEG or GIF, for example). Number figures consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text. Provide a descriptive figure caption at the bottom of each figure. Since the primary form of the Journal exists in an on-line format, it is highly recommended that color be incorporated into tables and graphs, and color photographs included when appropriate.
10. Conflict of Interest Notification
Inappropriate influences from financial or personal relationships constitute a conflict of interest. Authors desiring to submit a manuscript to be considered for review in the Journal must disclose all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest in their cover letter.
