About the journal
This bimonthly journal has a 30-year history of publishing, first as the Canadian Journal of Sport Sciences, and later as the Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology. It publishes original research articles, reviews, and commentaries, focussing on the application of physiology, nutrition, and metabolism to the study of human health, physical activity, and fitness. The published research, reviews, and symposia will be of interest to exercise physiologists, physical fitness and exercise rehabilitation specialists, public health and health care professionals, as well as basic and applied physiologists, nutritionists, and biochemists.
Instructions to Authors
The manuscript
Format and organization
The manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, on paper 8.5 × 11 in. (or ISO A4). Page and line numbers should be used, beginning with the title page. For material that is to be set in italics, use an italic font; do not underline. Use capital letters only when the letters or words should appear in capitals.
All manuscripts (other than book reviews and abstracts) should contain a title page (p. 1), an abstract (p. 2), followed by Introduction (p. 3), Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, and Acknowledgements sections, plus references, tables, figure captions, and appendices, in that order. (See descriptions of each part of the manuscript, below.) Tables and captions for illustrations should be on separate pages.
Organize tables and figures to facilitate comparisons, grouping related data in as few tables and figures as feasible. As far as possible, make the tables and figures clear without reference to the text.
Begin sections and paragraphs with topic sentences containing generalizations that lead readily to the particulars. Giving a conclusion first and then supporting it not only improves readability but also facilitates assessment by other scientists. Failure to give the most newsworthy generalizations first is one of the most prominent shortcomings in presentation of manuscripts. Assure that everything in each section is relevant to the heading and that everything in each paragraph is relevant to the topic (opening) sentence.
Title
Both titles and abstracts provide information for contemporary alerting and information retrieval services, and should therefore be informative but brief.
Title page
The title page should contain the following: (i ) the full title of the paper; (ii ) all authors listed in the order in which they are to appear on the printed article; (iii ) the name, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence; and (iv ) the affiliation and address (including e-mail address) for each author. This should reflect the affiliation and address at the time of the study. Indicate current affiliations and addresses (including e-mail addresses) that differ from those in the by-line in a footnote.
Author names
The Editors urge all authors to use full forenames rather than initials and (or) one forename.
Abstract
An abstract is required for every contribution and should contain accurate descriptive words that will draw the reader to the content. This is particularly important because contemporary alerting services and search engines will search this text. The abstract should present the paper content concisely and accurately and should supplement, not duplicate, the title in this respect. Authors able to submit abstracts in both fluent English and French are encouraged to do so. Abstracts submitted in one language will be translated into the other official language by the journal translator. References should not be cited in the abstract unless they are absolutely essential, in which case full bibliographic information must be provided. Abstracts for original research, reviews, and invited reviews should be less than 250 words, whereas abstracts for rapid communications, brief communications, current opinions, and technical notes should be less than 75 words. Invited editorials and letters to the editor do not have abstracts.
Key words
Six to 10 key words should be placed directly below the abstract.
Text
The text should be written and arranged to ensure that the observations reported may be reproduced and (or) evaluated by readers. Sources of biological materials, experimental methods, geographical locations, and statistical methods should be described. Sources of commercially available laboratory or field equipment and fine chemicals should be indicated in parentheses; list the company name, city, and country. Material taken from research theses must be thoroughly edited for brevity and must conform to these Instructions to Authors. Authors are encouraged to include uniform resource locators (URLs) and digital object identifiers (DOIs) to enable readers to find material on the Web.
Introduction
Limit the introduction largely to the scope, purpose, and rationale of the study. Restrict the literature review and other background information to that needed to define the problem or set the work in perspective. An introduction generally need not exceed 375–500 words.
Materials and methods
The degree of reproducibility of experiments should be indicated either in general statements in Materials and methods and Results or, preferably, as statistical treatments of numerical data cited in tabular or graphic form. The experimental, or computational, material must be sufficiently detailed to permit reproduction of the work, but must be concise and avoid lengthy descriptions of known procedures; the latter should be specified by appropriate references. The reader’s attention should be drawn to any new or unusual hazards encountered in the experimental work. Limit the information on materials and methods to what is needed to judge whether the findings are valid. To facilitate assessment, give all the information in one section when possible. Refer to the literature concerning descriptions of equipment or techniques already published, detailing only adaptations. If the section is long, consider using subheadings corresponding to headings for the findings. Identify figures that have been digitally enhanced or modified, and provide the software and technique used.
Results
Limit the results to answers to the questions posed in the purpose of the work and condense them as comprehensively as possible. Give the findings as much as possible in the terms in which the observations or measurements were made so as to avoid confusion between facts and inferences. Material supplementary to the text may be submitted and referenced in the text (see Supplementary material section).
Discussion or conclusion
Limit the Discussion to giving the main contributions of the study and interpreting particular findings, comparing them with those of other workers. Emphasis should be on synthesis and interpretation and exposition of broadly applicable generalizations and principles. If there are exceptions or unsettled points, note them and show how the findings agree or contrast with previously published work. Limit speculation to what can be supported with reasonable evidence. End the Discussion with a short summary of the significance of the work and conclusions drawn.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements should be written in the third person and kept to a concise recognition of relevant contributions. We strongly urge authors to limit acknowledgments to those who contributed substantially to scientific and technical aspects of the paper, gave financial support, or improved the quality of the presentation. Avoid acknowledging those whose contribution was clerical only.
Footnotes
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. When used in the text, footnotes should be cited using superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page upon which the reference is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase l and the numeral one, and between capital O and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text. Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and placed flush with the left margin.
References
General form
The author is responsible for verifying each reference against the original article. Each reference must be cited in the text using the surnames of the authors and the year, for example, (Walpole 1985) or (Green and Brown 1990) or Green and Brown (1990). Depending on the sentence construction, the names may or may not be in parentheses, but the year always is. If there are three or more authors, the citation should give the name of the first author followed by et al. (e.g., Green et al. 1991). If references occur that are not uniquely identified by the authors’ names and year, use a, b, c, etc., after the year, for example, Green 1983a, 1983b; Green and Brown 1988a, 1988b, for the text citation and in the reference list.
Uniform resource locators (URLs) or digital object identifiers (DOIs) are useful in locating references on the Web, and authors are encouraged to include these; they should be placed after the reference in the reference list (see example below).
Unpublished reports, private communications, and In press references
References to unpublished reports, private communications, and papers submitted but not yet accepted are not included in the reference list but instead must be included as footnotes or in parentheses in the text, giving all authors’ names with initials; for a private communication, the year of communication should also be given (e.g., J.S. Jones (personal communication, 1999)). If an unpublished book or article has been accepted for publication, include it in the reference list followed by the notation “In press”.
Presentation of the list
The reference list must be double-spaced and placed at the end of the text. References must be listed in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author and not numbered. References with the same first author are listed in the following order. (i) Papers with one author only are listed first in chronological order, beginning with the earliest paper. (ii) Papers with dual authorship follow and are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the second author. (iii) Papers with three or more authors appear after the dual-authored papers and are arranged chronologically.
General guidelines on references
References should follow the form used in current issues of the Journal. The names of serials are abbreviated in the form given in the List of Journals Indexed for MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, 8600 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20894, USA; www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lji.html). In doubtful cases, authors should write the name of the serial in full. The Journal encourages the inclusion of issue numbers, which should be placed in parentheses after the volume number. References to nonrefereed documents (e.g., environmental impact statements, contract reports) must include the address where they can be obtained. The following bibliographic citations illustrate the punctuation, style, and abbreviations for references.

Tables
Tables must be typed on separate pages, placed after the list of references, and numbered with Arabic numerals in the order cited in the text. The title of the table should be a concise description of the content, no longer than one sentence, that allows the table to be understood without detailed reference to the text. Column headings should be brief, but may be amplified by footnotes. Vertical rules should not be used. A copy of the Journal should be consulted to see how tables are set up and where the lines in them are placed. Footnotes in tables should be designated by symbols (in the order *, †, ‡, §, ||, ¶ , #) or superscript lowercase italic letters. Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed under a table as a Note. Numerous small tables should be avoided, and the number of tables should be kept to a minimum.
Figure captions
Figure captions should be listed on a separate page and be placed after the tables. The caption should informatively describe the content of the figure, without need for detailed reference to the text. Experimental conditions should not be included, but should be adequately covered in the Methods. For graphs, captions should not repeat axis labels, but should describe what the data show. A single caption can be provided for multipart (composite) figures, with necessary details on the separate parts identified by their individual labels. If the separate parts require enough information to warrant separate captions, then the composite should be separated into individual figures.
Appendices
An appendix should be able to stand alone, as a separate, self-contained document. Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, for example, Fig. A1, Table A1, etc. If references are cited in an appendix, they must be listed in an appendix reference list, separate from the reference list for the article.
Supplementary material
Supplementary material (or data) consists of extra tables, figures (maps), detailed calculations, and data sets produced by the authors as part of their research, but not essential for understanding or evaluating the paper, and is not published with the article in the print edition of the journal. Such material may or may not be peer reviewed with the article. Supplementary material should be submitted with the article. During Web submission (OSPREY), relevant files should be attached under “Supplementary data”. Supplementary material is made available in its native file format on the journal Web site. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. S1, Table S1). The supplementary material should be referred to in the printed article by footnotes.
Illustrations
General
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit, after appropriate reduction, into the area of either one or two columns of text. The maximum finished size of a one-column illustration is 8.6 × 23.7 cm (3.4 × 9.3 in.) and that of a two-column illustration is 18.2 × 23.7 cm (7.2 × 9.3 in.). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and must be self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption.
Line drawings
All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures of similar size in any one paper.
Photographs
Photographs should be continuous tone, of high quality, and with strong contrast. Only essential features should be shown. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate.
Colour illustrations
Colour illustrations will be at the author’s expense. Further details on prices are available from Judy Busnarda, Managing Editor of the Journal (e-mail: judy.busnarda@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
Preparation of electronic graphic files
General
The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the List of Accepted Graphic Files at pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/graphics.html.
If you have compressed your files, indicate what compression format was used. PC or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts.
All figures should be submitted at the desired published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap
Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour, or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution of an image, the larger the number of pixels contained within the rectangular grid.
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art, 1200 dpi for finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
Colour
All colour files must be submitted as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector
Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmap in vector
Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.
Multimedia
Audio and video clips in the major multimedia formats are now accepted. For accepted formats, see the List of Accepted Graphic Files at pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/graphics.html.
Manuscript guidelines
Style guides
As a general guide for biological terms, Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7th ed., 2006) published by the Council of Science Editors, 12100 Sunset Hills Rd., Suite 130, Reston, VA 20190, USA, is recommended.
Abbreviations and acronyms
Acronyms should be defined when they are first mentioned in the text. Abbreviations and acronyms that are standard in the discipline need not be defined. Abbreviate terms denoting units of mass and measurement in the text only when they are preceded by numerals.
Units of measurement
SI units (Système international d’unités) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Metric Practice Guide (2000), CAN/CSA-Z234.1-00, published by the Canadian Standards Association (5060 Spectrum Way, Mississauga, ON M9W 1R3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed. Units such as kilocalorie and atmosphere may be used for the foreseeable future.
Statistical analyses
The assumptions and (or) the model underlying any statistical analysis should be clearly stated. Symbols such as * and **, denoting levels of significance, should not be used except in conjunction with the actual values of the associated test statistic; actual p values are preferred.
Nomenclature
Enzymes
For enzyme nomenclature, Enzyme Nomenclature (1992): Recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Academic Press, San Diego, Calif.) should be followed.
Drug trade names
Trade names of drugs may be mentioned in parentheses in the first text reference to a drug, but generic names should be used in the text, tables, and figures. When a trade name is used, it should be capitalized; generic or chemical names are not capitalized. The chemical nature of new drugs must be given when it is known. The form of the drug used in calculations of doses (e.g., base or salt) should be indicated. When several drugs are used, it may save space to include a separate paragraph in Methods or a separate table listing relevant information about all drugs employed.
Writing numbers
In long numbers the digits should be separated into groups of three, counted from the decimal marker to the left and right. The separator should be a space and not a comma, period, or any other mark, for example, 25 562 987 and not 25,562,987. In English text, the decimal marker should be a point, for example, 0.1 mL and not 0,1 mL. The decimal point in all numbers between 1 and –1, except 0, must be preceded by a 0. The sign × should be used to indicate multiplication, e.g., 3 × 106 and not 3·106.
Dates
Dates should be written in the sequence day–month–year without internal punctuation (On 9 October 1983 the…).
