Abstract: In this paper we study the existence of periodic orbits with prescribed energy levels of convex Lagrangian systems on complete Riemannian manifolds. We extend the existence results of Contreras by developing a modified minimax principal to a class of Lagrangian systems on noncompact Riemannian manifolds, namely the so called $lsh$ Lagrangian systems. In particular, we prove that for almost every $kin(0,c_u(L))$ the exact magnetic flow associated to a $lsh$ Lagrangian has a contractible periodic orbit with energy $k$. We also discuss the existence and non-existence of closed geodesics on the product Riemannian manifold $RimesM$.
