Research on Biomechanics, Motor Control and Learning of Human Movements

Dear Colleagues,

The confluence of biomechanics, motor control and learning within the study of human movement presents a synergistic approach to exploring methodologies designed for measuring and analyzing human body movements as intricate mechanical systems. This interdisciplinary endeavor addresses a notable void within the realm of human movement science. It amalgamates contemporary scientific and technological advancements with the foundational knowledge of kinesiology to facilitate the assessment, comprehension, and the enhancement of various complicated human motor skills.

The primary objective of this Special Issue is to provide an up-to-date exposition of the latest developments in the fields of biomechanics, motor control and learning, and the acquisition of knowledge regarding human movements. Distinctively, this Special Issue seeks to emphasize facets of human motion that have hitherto been underrepresented in scholarly inquiries or remain uncharted terrain. Consequently, this call for contributions extends to scholars who are conducting research in the following areas:

Novel analytical techniques and methodologies: manuscripts that introduce novel and innovative analytical tools and methodologies aimed at unraveling the complexities inherent in human movement.

Unlock the secrets of human movement: studies that aim to demystify intricate patterns of various human motor skills and expand our analytical repertoire.

Advancements in 3D kinematics and kinetics: studies that seek to broaden the horizons of 3D kinematic and kinetic analysis or enrich our understanding by encompassing a wider spectrum of kinematic and kinetic data.

Real-time biomechanical feedback training: investigations that focus on the utility of real-time biomechanical feedback as a means to enhance training outcomes.

The integration of biomechanics into motor learning within coaching practice: research that delves into the realm of biomechanics-based motor learning and its application within coaching practices.

In short, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the ongoing evolution of human movement science and provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field.
