Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to generate knowledge in sports and rehabilitation sciences to improve human performance, reduce the incidence of injury, and accelerate the recovery of the athletes on the one hand, and on the other hand to show the results of some studies on the latest biomechanical techniques used for improving and evaluating the results of rehabilitation programs in different fields of action. It is very important to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, athletes, and patients. To achieve this goal, this Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences calls for papers that conceptually and/or empirically research techniques, skills acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulations, measurements, injury prevention, and return to sport at all participation levels both in the field of sports and in the rehabilitation of function, activity, and participation. This call for papers invites all types of health professionals, coaches, and researchers in applied and sports biomechanics, whose research will be welcomed to generate a high-quality Special Issue.
With this premise, the recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sports/exercise biomechanics.
- Sports engineering.
- Biomechanics of injury prevention and rehabilitation in sports/exercise.
- Development of biomechanical methods/instrumentation.
- Fundamental biomechanics of movement.
- Acute intervention on sports injuries.
- Applied biomechanics to rehabilitation programs for acute and chronic pathologies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
