Open Access
Online First is a feature that enables the publication of final revised articles online before their inclusion in a printed issue. This accelerates the dissemination of research findings and ensures that your authors' work reaches the audience promptly.
Articles published through Online First are assigned a DOI upon their online posting. They should be cited as follows:
Author(s). Title of the article. Exercise and Quality of Life. Advance online publication. DOI:10.31382/xxxx
After assignment to a final issue, citations can include the volume and page numbers in addition to the DOI.
Once articles are allocated to a specific issue, their hosting transitions from the Online First page to the main journal archive. The DOI ensures persistent accessibility.
Citations to Online First articles are counted toward the journal's Impact Factor if other indexing criteria are met. This promotes earlier engagement with the published work.
Online First articles are considered final but not definitive until assigned to a specific issue. Errors identified in the online version can be corrected before the final issue publication.

The application of fractional Zener model on MCL
On the basis of recently published experimental results of Abramowitch et al. (2004), dealing
with viscoelastic properties of sham operated and healing MCL, we show that the fractional Zener
model of viscoelastic body seems to be very tractable tool for rheological description of different
states of biological tissues. In this paper medial collateral ligament of the knee will be described
by means of the method of Dankuc et al. 2010, who examined middle ear structures and ramp-and
hold stress relaxation experiments. Two different states of MCL were described by four different
constants representing modulus of elasticity, the order of fractional derivative and two relaxation
constants. Predictions of the model are in good agreement with the experimental results.
