Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of biomechanics, wearable technology, and data-driven decision-making is revolutionizing the landscape of sports science, performance optimization, athleticwear, and leisure activewear. Emerging sensory technology and algorithmic advancements have enabled more effective training methodologies, injury protection, and performance enhancement through personalized, evidence-based strategies. The future of sports lies in the seamless fusion of cutting-edge experimental findings, advanced computational platforms, and large-scale data analytics to drive innovation and improve outcomes across all levels of participation.
We invite original research and review articles focusing on the application of biomechanics and wearable technology in sports. We welcome submissions that explore experimental investigations, computational simulations, and AI-driven modeling. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Integration of motion capture technology in sports biomechanics.
- Wearable technology and its impact on sports monitoring and feedback.
- Development and application of wearable sensors for real-time biomechanical analysis.
- Advanced algorithms for processing and interpreting sports performance data.
- Machine learning, deep learning, or other AI applications in sports biomechanics and performance prediction.
- The role of biomechanics in understanding sports-related injuries.
- Data-driven approaches to enhance sports performance and training regimens.
- Biomechanical modeling and simulation for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and to advancing the conversation on how biomechanics and technology are transforming sports.

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. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
