Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue of the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology delves into the intricate relationship between biomechanics and athletic performance. This Special Issue will explore the application of advanced biomechanical analysis techniques in understanding and enhancing physical activity and sports performance. The articles within this Special Issue will address a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the biomechanics of specific sports movements to the development of novel materials that could enhance athletic gear and equipment.
We invite researchers and practitioners in the field of biomechanics to contribute their expertise to this Special Issue and provide insights into how biomechanical principles can be utilized to optimize training protocols, prevent injuries and maximize athletic potential. Furthermore, this Special Issue will showcase interdisciplinary approaches, highlighting collaborations between biomechanists, engineers, physiologists and sports scientists in order to tackle complex challenges in the realm of physical activity and sports.
Overall, this Special Issue will serve as a comprehensive resource for academics, coaches, athletes and sports enthusiasts who are interested in the intersection between biomechanics and sports performance, providing valuable insights and practical applications that ultimately enhance athletic endeavors.
Dr. Pedro Forte
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information

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.
