Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamic interplay between exercise, injury, and rehabilitation is central to sports medicine and essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Understanding the clinical mechanisms of injury and the most effective rehabilitation strategies is vital for promoting safe physical activity and long-term musculoskeletal health for all, from elite athletes to recreational exercisers.
This Special Issue, titled “Exercise, Injury and Rehabilitation: Integrated Perspectives in Sports Medicine”, invites contributions that explore clinical approaches to injury prevention, diagnostic techniques, therapeutic interventions, and post-injury rehabilitation. Special focus will be placed on multidisciplinary insights at the intersection of technologies, exercise physiology, and biomechanics.
We welcome original research, clinical trials, and reviews that bridge the gap between physical activity, injury risk, and recovery within the broader context of clinical medicine.
