Skeletal Muscle Mechanics—2nd Edition

Dear Collesgues,

This Special Issue, "Skeletal Muscle Mechanics—2nd Edition", in the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology endeavors to elucidate the intricate and dynamic principles governing the functionality of skeletal muscles. It aims to conduct a thorough exploration of the structural and functional facets of skeletal muscles, spanning from the molecular and cellular levels to tissue and complete muscle structures. This distinctive publication seeks to illuminate the mechanical foundations of muscle contraction, force production, and energy metabolism, along with the adaptive reactions of skeletal muscles to physical exercise, inactivity, and the aging process. Moreover, it will delve into the utilization of advanced biomechanical and imaging methodologies to investigate muscle mechanics in both healthy and pathological conditions, with a specific emphasis on comprehending the implications for rehabilitation, athletic performance, and clinical interventions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
