Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sports and performance coaches, athletes, and medical personnel, such as athletic trainers and sports medicine physicians, increasingly rely on evidence-based information to inform their practice. Biomechanics is at the forefront of sports science and sports medicine research. Biomechanical principles can inform and lead to preferential sporting techniques, improved training methods, better rehabilitation programs, safer equipment, and advancements in medical procedures.
In this Special Issue, submissions of contemporary research related to all aspects of sports and rehabilitation biomechanics are invited. Possible topic areas broadly include the biomechanics of sporting performance, strength and conditioning, and sports injury. Both experimental studies and review papers, including critically appraised topics, are welcome. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
