Special Issue Information
In recent years, racket sports have become widely practiced disciplines at a professional and recreational level, becoming an interesting educational content and an alternative for leisure time. Its great expansion, growth and evolution in any type of population, from young to old and including people with disabilities, requires carrying out scientific studies that analyze the impact of the practice of this type of sports causes on the body. The aim of this Special Issue is to invite researchers to delve into the knowledge of racket sports, introducing updated and multidisciplinary analyses to consider educational, physical, biomechanical, physiological, biochemical and psychological aspects related to health, education and physical and sports performance. We also encourage authors to send review articles on the current state of knowledge in this field.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metabolic changes according to sports;
- Physiological responses to training and competition;
- Kinematic analyses;
- Technical, tactical and temporal analysis;
- Strength, speed, reaction time, flexibility and endurance;
- Anthropometric characteristics according to sports;
- Injuries in racket sports;
- Psychology applied to racket sports;
- Disability and racket sports;
- Young athletes’ performance and health;
- Women in racket sports;
- Didactics of racket sports.
