Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demands of modern sport are constantly evolving; thus, a deeper understanding of how athletes move, adapt, and perform is required. Biomechanics offers a scientific foundation for analyzing human movement, while technological innovations are redefining how we measure, assess, and consequently improve performance in both elite and recreational settings.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research articles and high-quality reviews that explore how biomechanical principles and innovative technologies contribute to understanding, enhancing, and monitoring sports performance. All submissions will undergo a peer-review process to ensure their high scientific quality and relevance.

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.
