Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The future of sport performance and health lies in the integration of biomechanics, sport medicine, bioengineering, and digital technology. This Special Issue invites contributions that reflect this convergence, aiming to illuminate new directions in performance science, injury prevention, and sports rehabilitation.
Today, advances in sensor technology, AI-powered motion analysis, and high-fidelity biomechanical simulation offer unprecedented insights into the dynamic and individualized nature of athletic movement. Likewise, bioengineered solutions—from personalized orthoses to regenerative medicine—are transforming how we support the athlete’s body.
This Special Issue welcomes original studies, reviews, and technical notes that combine quantitative biomechanical analysis with clinical insight and technological innovation. We are particularly interested in works that explore interdisciplinary synergies, such as smart monitoring systems for injury risk, real-time movement correction algorithms, or hybrid models of muscle-tendon behavior.
Our goal is to cultivate a platform where engineers, clinicians, and sport scientists collaborate to redefine how we measure, understand, and enhance human performance in sport. We encourage contributions that promote holistic, system-based solutions in the evolving field of sport biomechanics and medicine.
Prof. Dr. Takeshi Asai

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.
