Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data-driven approaches in exercise, rehabilitation, and health promotion from a clinical perspective. Research in these fields has traditionally emphasized improving physical performance and supporting rehabilitation and health. With the integration of AI and ML, the scope now extends more deeply into clinical medicine and public health, enabling precise diagnostics, individualized rehabilitation strategies, and preventive interventions at both patient and population levels.
We welcome submissions highlighting innovative methods, clinical applications, including AI-driven approaches to chronic disease prevention and management, clinical decision support for injury prediction and rehabilitation, AI-based exercise prescription and personalized training, and applications of wearables, mobile health, and patient-generated health data, as well as multimodal and explainable AI in sports and health research.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform on which clinicians and AI researchers can collaborate across disciplines, fostering advances that connect scientific knowledge with practical solutions for patient care and population health.
