Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building on the success of the first edition of this Special Issue, we are pleased to announce the second edition of "Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics in Human Health”. The study of the biomechanics of the technical skills that are specific to different physical and sports activities is part of the dynamic trend of scientific research in the field of sports science and physical education. Studying the physiological aspects and the effects produced by practicing physical exercise has a major impact on the development of human physical potential and on the optimization of health.
A biomechanical analysis complemented by the analysis of functional parameters, through the use of innovative evaluation tools, is a current trend in the research of human biological potential. Expanding the knowledge of the biomechanical characteristics and peculiarities of specific physical activities, sports branches, or tests will contribute to the scientific management of sports training and methodologies for improving physical fitness.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to publish relevant interdisciplinary research with high scientific quality focused on identifying aspects of biomechanics and exercise physiology in order to improve human sports potential. We are particularly interested in identifying the biomechanical aspects in relation to the specifics of physical and sports activities, as well as the changes in health status and physiological parameters induced by physical effort that are specific to different physical activities. The studies can target short-, medium-, or long-term effects, targeting physical activities and those specific to performance sports.
All manuscripts will be reviewed by experts in the field and should be submitted by 20 September 2025. We invite papers that describe the following:
- Functional and metabolic changes in relation to the intensity of the effort;
- Analysis of biomechanics, kinematics, and human motion;
- Assessments and analyses of technical biomechanics in team and individual sports;
- Physiological responses to training tasks in athletes;
- Physical effort and physiological reactions of the human body.

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.
