European Review of Aging and Physical Activity

European Review of Aging and Physical Activity (EURAPA) is the official journal of the European Group for Research on Aging and Physical Activity (EGRAPA), published by BioMed Central within Springer Nature. Founded in 2004 as a fully open-access journal, it publishes continuously rather than in numbered issues. It works across biomedical and behavioral sciences on the relationship between aging and physical activity.European Review of Aging and Physical Activity（EURAPA）是欧洲老龄化与体力活动研究组（EGRAPA）的官方会刊，由 BioMed Central 出版，属 Springer Nature 旗下，创刊于 2004 年，为完全开放获取期刊，采用连续出版方式而非按期次发行。该刊跨生物医学与行为科学两个领域，探讨衰老与体力活动之间的关系。^[1]

Scope

The journal offers a global forum to advance understanding of the relationships between aging and physical activity, spanning basic physiology, exercise science, brain and cognition, clinical and health sciences, gerontology, ethics and philosophy, and research methods.该刊的定位是为理解衰老与体力活动之间的关系提供一个全球性的学术论坛，学科覆盖基础生理、运动科学、脑与认知、临床与健康科学、老年学、伦理与哲学，以及研究方法。

• Biomedical side: basic physiology and exercise science are central, with functional indicators such as muscle strength, muscle mass, balance and gait.生物医学方向：基础生理学与运动科学是核心内容，涉及肌力、肌量、平衡与步态等老龄化相关功能性指标。
• Cognition and the brain: work on the link between physical activity and cognitive function, including brain and cognitive performance in aging.认知与脑科学：探讨体力活动与认知功能的关联，涵盖老化过程中的脑与认知表现。
• Clinical and health sciences: including geriatric clinical research, disability and frailty, sarcopenia, fall prevention and the translation of rehabilitation evidence into practice.临床与健康科学：包括老年临床研究、失能与衰弱、肌少症、跌倒预防以及康复实践的转化。
• Gerontology and the behavioral sciences: physical activity patterns, psychosocial variables, and demographic and epidemiological work on fourth-age phenomena.老年学与行为科学：关注身体活动模式、心理社会变量，以及人口学与流行病学层面的第四年龄现象。
• Ethics and research methods: the scope explicitly extends to ethics and philosophy relevant to aging and to methodological exploration.伦理与研究方法：选题范围明确延伸至老龄化相关的伦理与哲学讨论，以及方法学层面的探索。

The European in the title is not a geographic restriction. The journal states plainly that science is international and open, and submissions and readership are worldwide, with recent multi-country studies involving researchers from China, Brazil and elsewhere.刊名中的欧洲一词并不构成地域限制，该刊明确表示科学是国际和开放的，实际收稿与读者遍及全球，近年也组织中国、巴西等地研究者的跨国合作。

History

• 1992 to 1993: The predecessor group EGREPA was founded and held its first conference in Oeiras, Portugal, convening annually and reaching its fourteenth meeting in 2014.1992 至 1993 年：前身学会 EGREPA 成立并于葡萄牙 Oeiras 举办首次会议，此后每年举行年会，至 2014 年已办至第十四届。
• 2004: The journal was launched as the official journal of EGREPA, with its first volume appearing at the sixth World Congress on Aging and Physical Activity in London, Ontario, Canada. It has never been renamed.2004 年：该刊作为 EGREPA 的官方刊物创刊，首卷在加拿大安大略省伦敦举行的第六届世界老龄化与体力活动大会上发布，自创刊起从未更名。
• 2005 to 2006: Negotiations with Springer concluded in 2005 and publication moved to Springer from 2006, the publisher it has retained since.2005 至 2006 年：与 Springer 的谈判于 2005 年完成，2006 年起改由 Springer 出版，即期刊现行的出版方。

• One editor-in-chief is Antoine Langeard, a professor in the sports sciences and physical activity department of the Université de Caen Normandie (France), whose research centres on fall prevention in older adults and the mechanisms linking physical activity to balance, gait and cognitive function.现任主编之一为 Antoine Langeard，任职于卡昂诺尔曼大学（法国），任体育科学与体力活动系教授，研究以老年人跌倒预防为重点，关注身体活动改善平衡、步态与认知功能的机制。
• The other is Yael Netz of Levinsky-Wingate Academic College (Israel), where she developed a programme in physical activity for old age, and who also serves as president of EGRAPA.另一位主编为 Yael Netz，任职于以色列的 Levinsky-Wingate 学院，她在该校创建了老年体力活动项目，并同时担任 EGRAPA 学会主席。
• Associate editors include Michel Audiffren, Soledad Ballesteros, Cornelius Bollheimer, Michael Brach, Timo Hinrichs, Carl-Philipp Jansen, Jochen Klenk, Rick Kwan and Oron Levin, from France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Hong Kong.副编辑包括来自法国、西班牙、德国、瑞士、荷兰与香港等地的学者，具体包括 Michel Audiffren、Soledad Ballesteros、Cornelius Bollheimer、Michael Brach、Timo Hinrichs、Carl-Philipp Jansen、Jochen Klenk、Rick Kwan 与 Oron Levin。
