《應(yīng)用生理學(xué)雜志》發(fā)表了涉及應(yīng)用生理學(xué)各個領(lǐng)域的原始論文，特別是那些強(qiáng)調(diào)適應(yīng)性和整合機(jī)制的論文。適應(yīng)性生理學(xué)包括1）與發(fā)育、衰老和病理生理?xiàng)l件有關(guān)的固有適應(yīng)；2）對外部環(huán)境的適應(yīng)，如運(yùn)動、微重力、低氧、低氣壓和高氣壓以及低熱和高熱條件。整合生理學(xué)包括1）跨器官系統(tǒng)的橫向整合；2）從分子到細(xì)胞到器官的縱向整合。在應(yīng)用生理學(xué)的所有領(lǐng)域，強(qiáng)烈鼓勵使用包括分子生物學(xué)和細(xì)胞生物學(xué)在內(nèi)的尖端技術(shù)。

The Journal of Applied Physiology publishes original papers that deal with diverse areas of research in applied physiology, especially those emphasizing adaptive and integrative mechanisms. Adaptive physiology includes 1) inherent adaptations such as those related to development, aging, and pathophysiological conditions and 2) adaptations to the external environment such as those occurring with exercise, microgravity, hypoxia, hypo- and hyperbaria, and hypo- and hyperthermic conditions. Integrative physiology includes 1) horizontal integration across organ systems and 2) vertical integration from molecule to cell to organ. In all areas of applied physiology, the use of cutting-edge techniques including molecular and cellular biology is strongly encouraged.
