Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cooperation between engineering and sport in research activities has grown and is a firm reality. This connection has allowed for studies to be conducted and innovative products to be developed that actively improve the performance of professional and amateur athletes. Helping to prevent injuries, which can inhibit sports practice during leisure or competition, is a challenge faced by athletes and coaches. Both coaches and athletes can benefit from the knowledge that studies in biomechanics can impart to them. Biomechanics can help improve athletes' performance, helping to define training methodologies to optimise athletes' performance and reduce or even prevent injuries.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in biomechanics and sports engineering concerning the understanding of the mechanisms underlying athletes' responses during training, performance improvement, and occurrence of injuries, as well as providing information on the design of equipment and devices used by athletes and coaches. Original research studies and systematic reviews are welcome to this Special Issue.

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.
