Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Injury prevention through optimized biomechanics and ergonomics is becoming increasingly critical across various fields, from sports and occupational settings to healthcare and road safety. With traffic injuries alone contributing to over 1.35 million deaths and approximately 50 million injuries yearly, according to the World Health Organization, the need for effective injury prevention strategies is crucial. This Special Issue will focus on the latest advancements in biomechanics and ergonomics aimed at enhancing quality of life and human performance, with a particular emphasis on reducing traffic and mobility-related injury risks. We invite submissions that explore novel methodologies, quantitative and epidemiological studies, experimental and computational simulations, and technologies designed to assess and improve human posture and safety measures for all road users. Research that bridges the gap between theory and practical application in real-world environments is particularly welcome, offering valuable insights for professionals dedicated to enhancing human injury prevention through the application of biomechanics and ergonomics.

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.
