Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to announce a Special Issue of "The Role of Wearable Technology in Sports Science and Medicine". Applied Sciences is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal on all aspects of applied nature sciences published by MDPI semimonthly. The issue will complete the group of international papers in the field of sports performance and medicine, and a rapid growth in popularity is expected.
The evaluation of key performance indicators is of immense importance for improving human health and achieving maximum sports results. Unfortunately, very often this process is subject to subjective evaluations of the variables that influence this process. The use of technology that will help us objectively sees all the variables that affect performance in sports and recreation is not new. However, this equipment is very often expensive and complicated to use. On the other hand, wearable technologies are increasingly being used in sports, and they can significantly improve performance and increase the objectivity of viewing results during and after activity of both recreational and elite athletes.
We welcome manuscripts from all areas of wearable technology in sports science and medicine that may be of interest to international readers. To improve the quality and visibility of the journal, we encourage well-designed studies and high-quality datasets. Original research articles and comprehensive review papers are also welcome. The papers in this Special Issue will be published, with full open access after peer review, for the benefit of both authors and readers.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Implementation of wearable technology in team sports;
- Implementation of wearable technology in individual sports;
- Implementation of wearable technology in injury prevention;
- Implementation of wearable technology in sports rehabilitation;
- Sports biomechanics;
- Sports performance testing.
We encourage submission of short article proposals to the editors ([email protected], [email protected]) prior to submission.
We look forward to your contributions.
