Applied Biomechanics for Injury Prevention and Performance

Dear Colleagues,

In spite of different preventive measures, musculoskeletal injuries are still common problem related with physical activity. This is especially true for the population in which expected physical performance is at the highest level, such as in top level athletes and members of the armed forces (military and police). Creating interventions that would successfully preserve or improve performance while reducing injury risk is the ever-lasting goal of researchers in this area. This Special Issue is dedicated to the biomechanical aspects of injury prevention and performance enhancement and will address how the good understanding of biomechanical injury mechanism, body posture, gait, strength, and power may help us create more effective exercise interventions. We kindly invite you to submit your research articles or reviews on the latest research work in these areas, with emphasis on applicability of the findings in top level athletes and military personnel.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
