Aims (old version):

Sports (ISSN 2075-4663) is an international, peer-reviewed open access advanced forum for publishing studies related to the interdisciplinary area of sport, exercise and health sciences. Studies focused solely on competitive performance outcomes (e.g., game statistics, records) without direct application to sports training programs will be considered out of scope. Sports publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications, as well as Special Issues on particular subjects.

Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, the journal has no restrictions regarding the length of papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
