Biomechanical Analysis for Sport Performance

Dear Colleagues,

Biomechanics plays a pivotal role in sports science, offering essential insights into movement efficiency, injury prevention, and performance enhancement. Through biomechanical analysis, we can develop evidence-based strategies to optimize athletic performance across all levels of sport. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative research in the field of biomechanical analysis in sports performance.

Our goal is to provide athletes and coaches with a deeper understanding of the biomechanical factors that influence performance while fostering the development of innovative assessment methodologies. We invite submissions focused on biomechanics as the primary area of investigation, including (but not limited to) technical assessment, competition analysis, injury prevention, and long-term athlete development. Studies may also incorporate complementary domains such as physiology or anthropometry, provided biomechanics remains the central theme.

We welcome a wide range of methodologies, including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case reports, integrated approaches, longitudinal studies, and systematic reviews. Contributions from all sports and populations, from the youth-level to the elite-level, are encouraged. Advancing biomechanical analysis is key to unlocking new performance potential. We look forward to receiving your contributions and collaborating to expand the frontiers of sports science.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
