ABSTRACT

This chapter is tilted toward the authors’ perspective of the future of exercise science in contrast to our recent reviews (8, 9, 44) which were more focused on the retrospective side of exercise mechanisms. Both types of reviews can be controversial. However, perspective reviews distinguish themselves in that they are based more upon an opinion of the future, and less on data from the literature. As such, the future being unpredictable, the authors’ comments could be considered to provide backgrounds for future research considerations as well as the rest of the chapters of this volume.
