Advances in Sports, Exercise and Health, Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Interest in sports science, exercise, and health is continuously growing, now encompassing a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. Initially centred around physiology and medicine, interest in this field has expanded its horizons to involve a multitude of sectors.

In particular, sports performance analysis has gained enormous visibility in the past decade, with significant implications not only in the sporting realm but also in broader areas of general exercise science and public health. The advent of new technologies, sports analytics, and wearable devices has further enhanced this field, providing new evidence that benefits not only athletes but also a much wider population.

With this Special Issue, we aim to share the latest advances in this fascinating field, offering a platform where academic and industrial experts can discuss and identify solutions to emerging problems. Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Reliability and validity in data measurement in performance analysis, extendable to the field of health.
• The use of sports performance indicators in health prevention.
• The introduction of new technologies to monitor adherence to international guidelines on physical activity.
• The optimisation of sports equipment to improve performance, with applications in both the sporting and health prevention realms.
• The integration of related areas, such as nutrition, to enhance benefits for a broader audience.
• Innovations in monitoring performance, health, and workload.

We count on your valuable collaboration and participation in this Special Issue.

Best regards,

Dr. Gian Mario Migliaccio
