Research of Sports Medicine and Health Care: Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the intricate intersection of sports medicine and healthcare, shedding light on the latest advancements, insights, and applications in this evolving field. It will encompass a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, exercise prescription for various health conditions, doping prevention, injury prevention and rehabilitation, nutrition’s role in healthcare, the mental health benefits of physical activity, and the utilization of technology in monitoring and improving health through sports. We invite contributions from researchers, clinicians, and experts in sports medicine, exercise physiology, rehabilitation, nutrition, public health, and related disciplines.

The primary goal of this Special Issue is to foster a deeper understanding of how sports medicine interventions can contribute to healthcare outcomes. It seeks to bridge the gap between athletic performance optimization and the promotion of holistic health, providing evidence-based insights to guide clinical practice and public health strategies.

This Special Issue targets a diverse readership, including sports medicine practitioners, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and fitness enthusiasts, creating a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration. The research presented in this Special Issue has the potential to reshape healthcare paradigms, inspiring novel interventions that leverage sports medicine principles to prevent and manage health conditions. It also paves the way for innovative strategies in public health initiatives that promote active lifestyles for improved well-being.
