Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sport injury is one of the most important topics in modern sports medicine and receives attention from coaches, athletes, and the general public. Some sports injuries could impair sports performances, hospitalization and even career-ending to athletes with lifelong consequences. With the advancement of technology, better understanding of the mechanism of injuries, effective and accurate assessments, effective rehabilitation, new material and structural designs on sports gear, and environment/training protocols to minimize injury risk potentials and promote faster and better recovery.
This Special Issue bridges the gap between advanced science/technology and practice in the promotion of sport injury assessment, prevention and treatment. We invite original research or review articles on regular feature covers the applications of novel technology, equipment, material and sports gear that make advances to monitor and minimize injury and promote recovery after training or during rehabilitation. The application of the advanced science/technology in elite athletes will be highly desired.
Papers should focus on, but are not limited to, the following related topics:
- Cutting-edge equipment/technology used for competition, training, rehabilitation and coaching
- Sports equipment-related design and innovation (the ideation process, concept creation, embodiment refinement, design for mass manufacture and for sustainability)
- The development and validation of measurement, feedback, instrumentation, processes or software to enhance research activities within sports engineering and technology
- Sports biomechanics and the interaction with the environment, gear, and suit in the context of sports injury, sports medicine, and rehabilitation.
- Association of physical fitness, sports training, and athletic performance with sports injury.
